Play was MACHINAL - when he played my husband, it was just in a very tiny vignette . Later, I got to play a larger role a few times when Renee Taylor had other obligations __ I played her (major) role when she made her first appearance on the Jack Parr show. Later, I got to play it a few times again . THe role was "the telephone operator" who, in one scene was out on a date with the character Bill played. He also played the prosecuting attorney.
The play was loosely based on the Ruth Snyder murder case. It was produced first in the 20's and marked Clark Gable's Boradway debut. The production I was in was lauded for it's ensemble playing and won an Obie for Gene Frankel our director and Vincent Gardenia. We won the Vernon RIce award for overall best production. this was 1960. Also in the cast were some actors you may or may not know but were great - Art Smith, Florence Stanley, Gerald O'Laughlin. Music was written by Ezra Laderman. Bill was grateful to me for pointing out a casting call where they wanted a man with a "pointed" face. Others might have copped an attitude. It was the best of times and the worst of times... great memories for me. One do get nostalgic on the brink of turning 70 :) ann Paul Stenquist wrote: >Tell us about how he played your husband.
