Romulus Linney was on everyone's lips when I moved to NYC. As a playwright he was versatile and prolific; now he's known as the father of actress Laura Linney but never mind--the plays will live on.
Susannah York (above with Jane Fonda, foreground) was also one whose work encompassed a great range--she could play a woman of breeding (Tom Jones) or be psychologically fragile as she was to shattering effect in one of my favorites, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, some of the best work of her (and Ms. Fonda's) career
I couldn't have gotten through adolescence without Don Kirschner's Rock Concert, the show where I first learned about everyone from Melissa Manchester to the Police. Believe it or not, the jacket he's wearing here was the last word in style. RIP.
