She and I were in an acting class in the summer of 1960 at La Jolla Playhouse. At that time, the Playhouse was on Nautilus. Robert Mulligan was the director as I recall. Wendell was appearing in a play that summer at the Playhouse. He was also in the audience when our theatre troupe put on a performance for our friends and family at the end of the summer training.Ed Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443555000949843381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-42882486063864058862013-03-23T18:40:02.788-04:002013-03-23T18:40:02.788-04:00Thank you, Laura.

How neat for him to run into Charlton Heston like that and get his autograph.<br /><br />Here in New England we're fortunate to have several playhouses that have been running for decades, with a long history of movie stars trodding the boards.Jacqueline T.

One morning he and his family were having breakfast at a local restaurant and who is at the next table but Charlton Heston, who was appearing in Hinsdale in "Detective Story." He was the only one in his family who knew who he was because he had just seen him in "The Greatest Show on Earth" which had recently opened. He got his autograph and said Mr. Heston was very gracious to him, a little boy at the time. <br /><br />I wish there more theaters like this today.

Would have loved to see Hollywood's finest on the stage. I imagine those who really loved acting couldn't resist the chance to perform for a live audience.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-85253164821601170862013-03-08T23:21:59.208-05:002013-03-08T23:21:59.208-05:00Sounds great.
