"Rita Hayworth dancing by candlelight in a small Mexican village; Elizabeth Taylor devouring homemade pasta and tenderly wrapping him in her pashmina scarf; streaking for Sir Laurence Olivier in a drafty English castle; terrifying a dozing Jackie Onassis; carrying an unconscious Montgomery Clift to safety on a dark New York City street. Captured forever in a unique memoir, Frank Langella's myriad encounters with some of the past century' ..."
"“CYRANO need not have diminished emotional impact when divorced from the grand acting style for which the play was conceived. Its lyrical scenes still etch a portrait of Cyrano as a man of uncompromising bravery except in matters of the heart. They come off beautifully in the intimate off-Broadway-size Roundabout Theater. To the open minded, Langella’s work will hardly seem felonious and it may be a breakthrough!” —David Patrick Stearns ..."
"This introductory text details Arthur Lessac s proven procedures for understanding, training, and improving the voice and speech of the performer by exploring the varied qualities of the physical energies associated with producing sounds.""

"My costars were Jill Clayburgh, Melvyn Douglas, and Celia Johnson, whose
fame in America had come from a classic film she'd done for Noel Coward in
1945 entitled Brief Encounter. Melvyn Douglas had appeared opposite Greta
Garbo in ..."

"Is your classical Greek rusty? This is just the thing--a feast of epic Greek mythology--and the classic tale of Good (Jason, Theseus, Hercules, Orpheus) versus Evil (angry gods, Poseidon, Harpies, the women of Lemnos) is a great introduction. The plot has been entertaining people for thousands of years and is still going strong--now strengthened by great special effects and good acting. Sure, some people will think this version isn't "h ..."

When Furlong discovers that the murder has also occurred in real life, he attempts to rid himself of the game, but its hideous "referee," Trickster (T. Ryder Smith), refuses to le ..."
"In its heyday, New York's adventurous Chelsea Theatre Center was a renowned purveyor of all things experimental on the stage. This included not just new works, but classics from other cultures that remained unknown in the United States. Director Robert Kalfin's production of The Prince of Homburg--reportedly the work's first American staging—-is a perfect example. Heinrich von Kleist wrote his drama in 1811 (before the 30-something aut ..."
"Tony Award-winning actress, Blythe Danner, portrays the sensitive spinster Alma Winemiller in Tennessee Williams' 1948 drama. Frustrated with longing for the socially prominent young doctor next door, the eccentric, highly emotional minister's daughter decides to settle for one night with him in a rented hotel room. The Washington Post wrote: "Blythe Danner's Alma is as much of a television event as Katharine Hepburn's Amanda in The Gla ..."
"It tells essentially the same story of the spinsterish minister's daughter whose consuming love for her next-door neighbor remains unreciprocated. "Nightingale" is less allegorical than its predecessor and more tightly focused on the fascinating central character of Alma Winemiller, who Williams once claimed was his favorite character of all those that he had written. All the roles in this production are in eminently capable hands, with ..."
"Journey back to the rich and fantastic world of Ancient Egypt--a world where animals could magically jump out of a hieroglyph and change the meaning of your writing.

Episodes: The Great Pyramids, The Sphinx, Hieroglyphics, King Tut. "
