| Speaking of the most gracious stars, I'll never forget when I went to see Lena Horne in The Lady and Her Music. I must have been about 14 or 15 years old. There was a small group of us gathered at the stage door after the show, and it suddenly began raining, which thinned the crowd down to even fewer of us. Lena Horne had the doorman bring all of us who were still waiting inside and into her dressing room where she signed all of our Playbills and very graciously spoke to us for about 10 or 15 minutes. It was a very special moment. I'll also never forget how absolutely lovely and gracious Marian Seldes was the few times that I met her. Each of the times I had the opportunity to speak to her she clasped my hand in hers and looked so deeply into my eyes that I felt like there wasn't another soul in the room. She gave her absolutely undivided attention to every interaction. She was just as charming and gracious and genuine as could be. |

| Estelle Parsons started talking to me in an elevator on the way up to see my old excellent voice teacher years ago. I had pushed the button to my teacher's floor, and she said "You're going to that man up there?... You're a singer!. I said "Yes, and you're an actress"... (minipause)... "A famous actress!". I got a little understated "Yes" from her. Then I smiled, and we started talking about something or other. I remember either that time after my lesson or another time she said hi and was very happy playing with her grandchild down in the lobby. She seemed like a very nice and down to earth lady. | |

| Waiting for the Ladies Room at intermission, the woman in front of me turned and I realized it was Shirley Knight. She looked at me and smiled, so I thanked her for her wonderful work. She touched my hand and thanked me. She immediately took the attention off of herself, and told me how excited and proud she was that her daughter Kaitlin was starring in the show. So very gracious!! | |
