Last night I started to read Frank Langella'a 'DROPPED NAMES', often linked and sold by Amazon with 'DOUBLE LIFE', a memoir that Norman Sunshine and I wrote.
As I read further into his book, I came to a chapter on Dolores Del Rio that mentioned a production of Anastasia that starred her and that I had been in as an actor. Frank was an apprentice at the Pocono Playhouse, one of the theaters on our summer tour. I had been hired to play opposite Miss Del Rio although I was much younger than she. When I was born, she was already a star of silent movies.
Here is a link to the complete article:
