They were married from 1990-1999 when he died. Ruth Gordon died in 1985. Did you get a chance to see Marian in Dedication of The Stuff of Dreams

I never knew her, no I am actually a relative of Marian Seldes, his second wife, who is primarily a stage actress (she won a Tony for her performance in A Delicate Balance). Gar did however talk of Ruth Gordon quite a bit, and she does sound like she was a hoot. If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out Ruth Gordon's guest starring performance on Taxi. It was released as part of the first season collection

I do remember that, but it is a very good book

Oh thank you very much for reminding me of Born Yesterday. It really should be on there, and considering that Garson Kanin is a relative of mine it's relatively embarassing to forget. That said, yes Casablanca was indeed a play called Everybody Comes to Rick's by Murray Bennet and Joan Alison, that never made it to Broadway

I don't know honestly but Melvyn Douglass sure doesn't get too much credit and he made some great movies. But I would just love a month of Thelma Ritter movies... I just adore her Frank Sinatra or Woody Allen or Dustin Hoffman or Rosalind Russell would be good too

personally I CAN'T STAND Kim Novak, which doesn't help my enjoyment of Pal Joey

My vote would have to go to anything starring Alice Fay

sorry for my delay in responding to your reply, yes I would very much like to discuss these actors and films
