Howard Duff, what a man

As much as this paper is driving me crazy, I am finding out some fantastic things doing the research for it. (I think maybe if I could just look things up & not have to organize them into a coherent whole this would be a lot less stressful!) Anyway. Most recent cool thing?
Howard Duff. Born in Bremerton, lived in Seattle, moved to LA, was in some movies...maybe you've heard of him? He lived on Naomi place--about two minutes away from my house! Eeek.
& he was in a Seattle Repertory Playhouse production of Waiting for Lefty, about which he tells an incredible story: ( opening night )

See...that's the kind of theater I would love to do! Also, I want to go watch all of his movies now. Also, he was a babe!


Also I just talked to Chris & apparently a woman involved in the SRP is still around in Seattle...see, I just need a few more months & a good deal more free time, & I could do some awesome interviews. Stupid papers & deadlines, constraining all my history. Bah!
