"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

This was from 4 years ago, but still, yes, I hope he is still resting in peace!

He passed away in 2016. Thanks for the anniversary reminder.

Reminds me of the time I sat next to an elderly woman and her daughter at Three Tall Women. The daughter asked me if Albee was still with us. I replied that he recently died but had lived a long life and was very old when he passed.
The daughter replied "my mother was actually born a year before he was."
Awkward. But it was neat to watch the show next to someone who was the same age as the old lady in the play. I wondered what she thought about it but I didn't get a chance to ask.

Damn. Just when you think 2020 couldn’t get any worse, Edward Albee dies again.

Thank goodness! We don't need any zombie Albees or Millers roaming around. Or...do we...?

I thought Facebook was the only place where people can die multiple times. Apparently, it's catching. I think LuPone fanatic has some 'splainin' to do rather than just disappearing into the good night. :)

We should cut Patti LuPone FANatic some slack. He's so obsessed with CHICAGO he probably blocks out all other theatre news. To him, a story about Edward Albee's death is a current event.

That means she is still alive. Believe me folks I fact check that network and chock full of "misinformation."
