| I'm glad you had some nice words for Don Murray. He was one of those actors who always gave solid, memorable performances, but never really became a big movie star. Nevertheless, he had a very long and varied career that lasted over 70 years. As a kid, I remember going to the local cinema and being blown away by his passionate acting in films like Shake Hands with the Devil, The Hoodlum Priest, Advise & Consent, and perhaps a few others. Decades later when he had transitioned into character roles, I recall him popping up in films like Endless Love and Peggy Sue Got Married. A couple of side notes: Murray's co-star in A Hatful of Rain Eva Marie Saint is still with us at age 99. Saint, like Murray, began her career in theatre and was in a number of plays on Broadway. Also, two of Murray's co-stars in the 1962 Advise & Consent, Inga Swenson and Will Geer, would subsequently star on Broadway a year later as daughter and father in 110 in the Shade. BTW, I'm not sure what "Dream With Me" refers to. Is it a song? I think you may have me confused with another ATC-er. |
