David, Very good point on Don Knott's being a dramatic actor playing a comedian. I have read many reviews raving about Don's stage performance in On Golden Pond. Doesn't get much more dramatic than that. I remember reading the same Jack Benny story. Harry in Salem, VA P.S. Speaking of Jack Benny: I remember seeing George Burns on The Tonight Show years ago talking about his friendship with Jack Benny and his ability to always make Jack laugh. He said one night he and Gracie were at a large dinner party at a producer's home with Jack and his wife. The producer was having Jeanette MacDonald sing after the dinner. George said right before she started to sing, he leaned over to Jack and said, "Y'know Jack, it would be very rude for you to laugh while this young lady is singing." Ms. MacDonald started singing and Jack almost fell out of his chair he was laughing so hard. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
