I just read that there is a bench dedicated to the memory of Dorothy Loudon at the bus stop across the street from the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, the dedication being because "she preferred the bus to the limo." (I think this would be at 81st and CPW). Pal Joey, I would love to see a pic of Margaux on this bench, if you should be up that way. Or I would love to see a pic of any BWW poster on the bench!

That's sweet, Miranda. I still miss that great lady's talent. An inimitable comic genius.

Margaux just spent a Sunday in Central PArk last weekend! She promises to pose on Dorothy's bench next time we are there.

Thank you in advance, Pal Joey and Miss Margaux! Or are you just being kind? (Had to say it!) I just read an old post by a man who used to rehearse with Dorothy. He said after every session they would go to eat at Joe Allen's and Dorothy always got a cheeseburger. Another poster who grew up in the building where Dorothy lived on the upper west side said that Dorothy always gave out the BEST Halloween candy. Love these little details!
