A few months ago
we reported that the Cincinnati Arts Association - with their stage adaptation of Jane Eyre - had won the Acclaim Award in the category of Best Touring Production.
The Enquirer has an article today about the ceremony and all the winners. Congratulations!
Many websites today have articles concerning
Laurence Olivier's centenary. We would like to focus our attention on the one from
The Guardian. Several renowned actors share their anecdotes of Mr Olivier,
Helen Hayes among them.
Helen Hayes: Way back in the mid-30s and early 40s, my husband Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht wrote a screenplay for Wuthering Heights. I was staying in California at the time. One day, Charles came back from a tennis game very excited. "I have just seen the perfect Heathcliff, a brooding young man who leans against the wall of a tennis court at the club, waiting for someone to come along who wants a game. He has a startling, dangerous, dark beauty. Come down and see him, Helen, and tell me I am right." We repaired to the Beverly Hills tennis club, and there I saw Laurence Olivier. I told my husband who he was and his history, and he immediately approached him and made a date to take him to see the producer of the film, Samuel Goldwyn. From there on, it's history.
History indeed! Fantastic anecdote.
