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. |
