Happy birthday, beautiful Joan Fontaine! Pretty please: Stop talking about her overhyped "feud" with her sister, and watch her films—REBECCA, LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, IVY, THE CONSTANT NYMPH, KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS, SUSPICION, SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR, BORN TO BE BAD. She was so talented.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

The Unpredictable Jessica Harper Is Back in ‘Nightbitch’
Jessica Harper made risky moves (“Suspiria” over “Annie Hall”), then took time off for family. Her “Nightbitch” role is a nod to her career choices.

Today in Broadway and James Bond history, 11-14-1964: two Ernst Stavro Blofelds, the great Donald Pleasance and Charles Gray, opened together in Jean Anouilh’s “Poor Bitos” at the Cort Theatre (now the James Earl Jones). If only Telly Savalas showed up!
