Well, as her boigrapher, I think you should straighten out those folks at IMDB and perhaps Wikipedia so no misconceptions are made.  That way Grayson's good name will be protected.

Neither  Imdb nor Wikipedia say Ted Brooks, 1st husband of Grayson is brother of Conrad Brooks. 

Looks like I have to defend myself against possible slander here.  When Rebecca first told me about Ted Brooks on this forum, I naturally assumed it was Conrad's brother the actor-she did not tell me otherwise.  Therefore I didn't intentionally mislead anyone regarding this story.  So there.

Here is a copy of my original announcement. I did not say nor did I infer anything about Mr. Brooks other than that was the name of her first husband.

"Ms Hall (1923-1985) was a widely acclaimed New York Theatre actress, 1964 Academy Award nominee and co-star of the 1960s-70s iconic Gothic television serial, Dark Shadows. Research into her career has uncovered reviews of Grayson's earliest stage appearances as a teenager on Long Island and includes material on her extensive stage work in New York City; Spoleto, Italy; and the Hedgerow Theatre outside Philadelphia. Rare, previously unpublished documentation of her television and film careers will also be presented

The biographical project's goal is to provide a comprehensive, candid view of Ms Hall's professional achievements, persona and legacy for her admirers, the theatrical community, and students of the history of the American media arts.

The book contains excerpts of interviews with Kathryn Leigh Scott, David Selby, Nancy Barrett, Alexandra Isles, Marie Wallace, Diana Millay, Sylvia Miles, John Guare, Ted Mann, Arthur Penn, and Sam and Matthew Hall.   It will also include several privately, unpublished photos of Grayson's early life, including a photo of her first husband-Ted Brooks, and her theatrical endeavors.

The book is scheduled for publication in August 2006.

Hi Julia99, thanks for clearing that up. I had begun to have my doubts by dinner time tonight. The big clue was the Ted Brooks on Grayson's listing did not link to Ted Brooks, Conrad's brother. Also, its a common enough name. make sure to plan to give Charles a spanking at the festival for running me in circles today.

--the imdb.com is put together by people and has errors--e.g. the listing for Sam Hall with the note "aka Sam M Hall?"--when, where?  his birthname is Allison Samuel Hall--

as for there not being a relationship link with Conrad--that would also have been created by someone "in the know" and not necessarily indicative of there being (or in this case NOT being) a relationship.  One of the links of Ted Brooks for the film When Nature Calls is actually for a black actor with the same name--

I watched this movie on TV at age 15 or so because Grayson Hall was in it.  I clearly remember hearing this line and thinking to myself, "The truth about herself....like...that she's not a nice person?"  I watched it last month on DVD, and am still reeling from the shock of realizing the truth about myself:  I was an absolute moron at age 15.

Oh my god that gave me a good chuckle today .. . 

It was a nice documentary; the opening segment camera work seemed a bit claustrophobic to me but that changed and the later commentaries were interesting--i'm very interested in some unexplored green spaces in NYC.

Well if you are a Netflix junkie  .. check out some of the foreign films along the same general idea . ."Il Mare" (2000) and or "Ditto"

Did you get your stinking rose my big fat hero??

Quick question--was THRUSH an overtly communist organization on the show? or just a bunch of badie-evil doers bent on world domination?
