| I realize I’m late since it came out last Fall, but I just found and watched Leonard Soloway’s Broadway on Prime Video. If you haven’t seen it, do so. I loved it and was constantly reminded of how things were and will no longer be. |

| One of the nice things about a film made by a small independent company is that you can email the executive producer who also happens to be the director and a participant in the story: jeff.wolk@me.com (and the email is on their website so I am not giving out state secrets). It looks like it has not been released in the UK but I am sure he's be happy to hear from someone who thinks it should be. :-) |

| Check with your local library. I did watch it on Prime Video (loved it) and when telling friends about this doc, discovered that Boston Public Library is lending out the dvd. |

| Thanks for the tip Barbara but my local library never has anything like this in stock (I used to occasionally ask to show interest but - zilch) | |

| Disappointing re library. Looks like Broadway HD is offering it here with a 7 day free trial. Might that work for you? |

| I watched it last night--enjoyable. Do you remember the name of the actor he and Elizabeth Ashley were 'fighting' over and if so whatever became of him?? LOL Also the woman who worked with him for so long? I didn't catch her name at the beginning and kept waiting for it to be repeated. |

| The actor mentioned by Elizabeth Ashley was Stephen McHattie. | |

| Just googled him to see the latest on him. He's 74 years old and it appears that most of his work in recent decades has been in TV. I worked with him in the early 1980s on a production of Danton's Death at Baltimore's Center Stage, in which he played the title role. I loved this documentary! Thanks so much for the posts here which brought it to my attention. |

| Stephen McHattie and Elizabeth Ashley appeared together Off-Broadway in The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore in 1982. The cast included Marian Seldes and Amanda Plummer. That was a whole lot of acting. | |

| Ashley and Amanda Plummer got along? | |

| I had an old clipping I'd cut out of the paper about chaos at Agnes of God (it was one my first non musical plays I saw and I was a superfan). It was a Liz Smith column saying that one actress was so volatile and unpredictable in the cast that another was threatening to leave the show. Ashley had been on Live at Five clearly stoned out of her mind (my family still quotes the interview--she refers to the cops arresting a guy as "they nabbed him!") I always figured Ashley was the erratic one. Where Page or Plummer the ones threatening to quit? |

| They must have made up because many years later they worked together on Michael Wilson’s production of ‘Eight by Tenn’ at Hartford Stage. | |

| And they worked in The Mild Train doesn't Stop Here Anymore at the WPA theater in 1987. | |

| I’ve liked McHattie ever since 1974, when he played the delightful younger brother Nicholas in the Richard Chamberlain THE LADY’S NOT FOR BURNING. But he’s legendary in Star Trek fame for his single episode of DEEP SPACE NINE as the suspicious Romulan Senator Vreenak, declaring “It’s a fake!l to Avery Brooks’ Captain Sisko’s attempt to fool them.

| Judith Drasner was Leonard's long-time assistant and Company Manager. I just looked on IBDB and the last Broadway show she did was LOOPED with Leonard, March and April 2010. Nothing on IOBDB. | |

| I don't recall but I enjoyed it so much I'll probably watch it again. I thought the most poignant moment for me was near the end of the film where he tells the Shubert brass that he's "done with the business" and was leaving NYC was shocking enough to create a stunned look on their faces. Being a young 65 years old myself, I totally understood their response of being relevant in our constantly changing world. I think about the out of work actors/Broadway staff in general today who are wondering how relevant they will be when Broadway reopens and/or if there is a place for them at the table after the seating has been rearranged after a long hiatus. |
