(VIDEO) JOHN CULLUM ON MOSS HART

Em and John recall a cocktail party they attended at Moss Hart's penthouse apartment.

John recalls how Moss Hart supported and helped his career, artistically as well as financially.

Unknown said...: YES!!! You're STILL a good looking couple!!! You're sweet and funny and wonderful!

We all feel we're experiencing those parts of your life when you talk about them, and I for one am grateful for these peeks into the past. I love the blogs like this one, where you talk about those days! You know... you COULD do a blog about that certain actor I love so much... Maybe? :)

Thank you for this beautiful addition to my Sunday. Love and hugs to you both!; November 24, 2013 at 12:48 PM
Paul Mendenhall said...: Thanks so much for this. Hart is one of my personal heroes. I adored Kitty Carlisle Hart too. I attended a lecture she gave in DC once. Some angry lesbian in the crowd asked her how she felt about Hart's bisexuality, and without missing a beat she replied: "Ambivalent." Ha! They were the epitome of glamour. What a shame all that has been lost.; November 24, 2013 at 1:00 PM
Linda Phillips said...: What a lovely rememberence of a truly great man....greater than we knew in so man ways!; November 24, 2013 at 2:15 PM

HOW I GOT HERE

I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.

I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.

I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.

We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.

Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great,
but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it.

The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
