I admit I don't know much about Patrick, but he certainly wrote a memorable play with "Hasty Heart." Did you act for the regional theater or were you more on the production end? (Always wish I had been involved in theater more.)Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-71910863626245050242017-04-23T11:16:46.727-04:002017-04-23T11:16:46.727-04:00John Patrick was a friend and mentor of mine...and...John Patrick was a friend and mentor of mine...and we mounted many of his plays at the professional regional theater I worked for in the 1990s...including The Hasty Heart, which I think is Patrick's best work. And this film adaptation is really wonderful, Neal and Richard Todd are exceptional, and even President Reagan does a great job! <br /><br />John Patrick told me so many surprising stories about his years in the theater and in Hollywood...he was close with Brando, Grace Kelly, Cloris Leachman, Vivian Vance, and countless others. I spent many an hour in his Japanese-style home in Boca Raton, very Teahouse of the August Moon, of course!<br /><br />Need to see this again.<br />- Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.com
