C L A U D E Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I noticed that JAWS from the James Bond movies has also passed away. The tall LURCH like actor had these metal teeth and he played the villain called JAWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The wonderful, Tony winning actress Marian Seldes has died at the age of 86. She was also the widow of Garson Kanin. Seldes is in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing all 1,809 performances of the play Deathtrap on Broadway. http://www.theatermania.com/new-york-city-theater/news/marian-seldes-obituary_69658.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Had no idea who she was until you mentioned Deathtrap. Is that the film with Christopher Reeve? If it was, that was a great story. How about Geoffrey Holder, Whoopie just mentioned him on The View and he was a big Broadway star too, wasn't he?

Brock posted about Geoffrey Holder up the thread a bit. Deathtrap was made into a film with Christopher Reeve, but Marian Seldes was not in it. Dyan Cannon played the role Marian originated on Broadway. Here is a great New York Times profile on Marian Seldes when she received an honorary Tony Award in 2010. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/magazine/13seldes-t.html?pagewanted=all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Harry: This photo - did they appear together on Broadway? Thanks, JK Lucie and Marian Seldes did not appear on Broadway together. However, they both participated in an all star staged reading of Auntie Mame in 2003. Lucie played Sally Cato and Marian played Vera. Charles Busch was Mame, Rue McClanahan was Mother Burnside, Charles Shaugnessy was Brian O'Bannion, Swoosie Kutz played Agnes, Anthony Edwards was Beau, and Beth Howland and Charles Kimborough played the Upsons. Valerie Harper served as narrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 No Harry, I worded that wrong, I wanted to know if the play Deathtrap was the same as the film Deathtrap with Reeve, I KNEW she was not in it, sorry. Remember the time I thought The Mousetrap was Deathtrap? And sorry also about the Holder thread, had not seen it. Incredible casting on that Auntie Mame, LOL!

Luvsbway Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The play Deathtrap and movie with Reeves are the same. The theatre I worked at as a teenager did it and I loved it so I watched the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I loved that movie, when it came out it was so titillating to see gorgeous Christopher Reeve kissing Michael Caine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Tim Hauser died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Who is he? How could you ask that? He was the older guy in the four person group called The Manhattan Transfer. They once did, among their many jazzy numbers, a terrific video parody of the fab four with the older man of the group, the one who passed away at 72, Tim Hauser playing Fred, and the other three playing Lucy, Ethel and Ricky.

C L A U D E Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I almost typed WHO'S MARCIA STRASSMAN, then I remembered her billing in Welcome Back Kotter, had forgotten she did those honey shrunk kids too. She seems, after reading her bio, to be one special person, with her involvement with cancer charities even before getting it herself. One less SPECIAL giving wonderful person on this earth. R I P Marcia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
