| Nathan Lane in the George C. Scott-led production of Coward's "Present Laughter." Scott was terrific and gave a level of performance to the lead that I never saw other actors do. But Lane caught our attention. | |

| I saw Nathan twice in Merlin. January and February 1983. The second time I brought some college friend to witness the brilliant Nathan Lane. He was good the second time but his show stopping song on the row boat was cut. Damn you Doug! I'm just assuming Doug had something to do with it. Or maybe it was Chita? | |

| When I was very young, my mother took me to "Over Here" and I was enthralled with a cute young boy in the cast - John Travolta. | |

| I'm not very good at this; when I've seen unknown actors and predicted they would someday be stars, they all sank like stones. But when I was in London in the late 70's, I saw an actress at the Royal Shakespeare Company, a short, stumpy woman who looked like she could transform herself into anything. The right wig, and she became a grande dame in The Comedy of Errors and The Way of The World. Dressed in black with a black scarf in her hair, she became an extraordinary Lady Macbeth. Her name was completely new to me, and she was unknown over here: Judi Dench. | |
