The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part three — Page 424

A while ago I had an idea that "The One That Got Away" could have been written about Daphne, but I got that purely from references in the song - "without you" and "as long as you remain my friend," and Daphne seems to fit the personality of someone who could "slam me down so gracefully." I never heard anything about them dating before though. In fact, when this came up on the old CB boards someone specifically said that they didn't. But who knows.

Well, the CB'ers are often wrong, even if they think they're the authorities on everything in the universe. They could be right, but I take them with a big grain of salt.

I love that picture; never seen it before!

Hi, what's going on? It sounds like I might have missed something good.

Nia, we were discussing if Adam and Daphne dated back in the day. Nothing too new or interesting. Heh.

And just as the CBers may have said that they didn't, someone on IMDB said that they did and it was no secret, so who really knows. Whatever. Heh.

I think I read something in which one of them mentioned it once. It doesn't seem to be a big deal or a secret.

We may not know WHO he writes his songs about, but we do know WHAT...

How do you know that?

ah, life is back to normal ... I'm sitting on my couch with my cat and my laptop and no family members around ... while "listening" to you all talk about Adam. Now *this* is a holidaY! :)

Thanks, I don't remember seeing these before. You sure have some great pictures.

I thought it could be Tim Rice, but don't remember exactly what he looks like.

Adam really looked great in his Aida period.

Siamese, was that Adam/Daphne rumor on the IMDb Rent board? I'm remembering that early on someone started an irresponsible Adam/Rosario rumor. It was quickly shot down, obviously girls making drama for themselves. But it just goes to show what being an even very minor celebrity can let you in for.

I was watching the American Theater Wing seminar Adam did in 1996. Isabelle Stevenson, the octogenarian head of the wing, was obviously fascinated by Rent and him, and the moderators were respectful too. What a moment for him, an unrepeatable time when someone bursts out of nowhere and knocks everyone out.

Adam's demeanor was interesting too. He wasn't cocky but not at all intimidated either, surrounded by these much more experienced classical actors, a writer from the New Yorker and so forth. He talked about dealing with unresponsive audiences in rock clubs as something that would either kill you or make you stronger, and how Greif let him find himself on stage. At the end an audience member asked what he'd be doing next, and he said he hesitated to do another musical, because how could you top the experience he'd just had? He's probably right about that.

Chloe, I believe someone (innocently, I think) asked if Adam and Daphne had dated during the early years of Rent on the IMDB Rent board. The poster said that he/she had read it somewhere else. Someone else responded with something to the extent of, "Yeah, they did. It was no secret." I think someone else after that seconded that they did in fact date. That's all I remember.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't malicious, though. I mean, if they did date, it was before either one of them were married, so it's certainly not scandalous. And it's certainly plausible.

Just from reading a few interviews, I've got the impression that he really didn't want to be a "Broadway star" early in his career, but he's grown more comfortable with that title. Hm.
