I think it was another era, really.  Actors, by and large, unless they were someone like Richard Burton and Liz Taylor, were allowed to have private lives.

I remember having lunch with the late Craig Hamrick and we were talking about this topic, and he mentioned the name of a prominent, very prominent, member of the DS cast who frequently went to Uncle Charlie's, a well known gay bar in the Village, for drinks after the show. (The bar was named after a character named "Uncle Charlie" on a once popular series, "My Three Sons," who was the live-in male housekeeper to a widowed Dad played by Fred Macmurray.)  Members of the press were also sometimes there.  Nobody ever said anything.

Like I said... it was another era.

All the episodes with Grayson are in the studio vault.  At one point, one of them was going to be released for viewing at the Museum of Television.  I never heard whether the suits finally signed off on it.  For some reason they were dragging their feet...

God.  Depp playing Tonto.  That's just ... embarrassing.

Won't any of the Native American/American Indian anti-discrimination groups protest?

Was there ever any possibility of them running Grayson Hall's episodes of OLTL on SoapNet?

I was disappointed that the episode on which Nancy Barrett, Tony George and Grayson were all present and had dialogue about not having seen one another in awhile was never included as an extra on one of the DS DVDs.

Criseyde--I was thinking more of Ben Cross fans, who as far as I am aware get far fewer opportunities to see their guy at work than is the case with the ever-busy and ebullient Mr. Selby.  (I saw him give a reading here a couple of years ago, and his energy, generosity, and high spirits were truly inspiring.)

Also, the opportunity to see Selby and Cross share a stage is, again so far as I am aware, unique. 

I'm sure ticket sales will not be a problem.  Just thinking of how many might have wanted to be there that won't be able to do so.

Isn't Jon Hamm really hot right now?  I wonder whether he will be doing a feature film since Mad Men seems to have been up in the air for quite some time and, according to a NY Times piece I read a few weeks ago, no sign of any resolution.

Ah, the wonders of "the Industry"... and the dreary endless incompetence of "the suits" ...

Christopher Bernau who played Philip Todd (who uttered that deathless line during Leviathan:  "I'm ... so ... scared ... !!") was also in the 1969 replacement cast while the original B'way cast was doing the movie.  It would be so beyond cool if they had found footage of the replacement cast doing a scene from the play.  Seems rather unlikely but one can always hope.

I actually tracked this thread down because i am so impressed with the shots of Keith Prentice and Grayson Hall selected for the new theme.  Excellent work!

It's fascinating to see your screen shots of the theme, too.  Even on my MacBook laptop at home, I can't get the complete sidebars to display.  I do get much more of the images than I get on my office desktop computer, and that's regardless of whether I view the site in IE or Mozilla Firefox.

Best, G.
