Hi Suzanne,
(said James sitting his steak and green salad on the table)
Well I was lucky in that it took me six long years from the time I
first started looking for addresses to get Gabrielle's address. If not I
probably would have put my foot into my mouth up to what I'm setting on.
As I see you always mention Dr. Jackson I take it that you are a fan of
Vladek Sheybal. I got a wonderful letter from him. He was such a wonderful
person. He gave me his home address and invited me to write him anytime. I
was supprised to learn that he had been Gabrielle's teacher at RADA. He was
nothing like the characters he always seems to play. Very charming would be
how I would define him. I was so sad that I didn't write him more when he
past away.
The same goes for Norma Ronald who played Miss Eland. She wrote me a
beautiful four page letter that I treasure. She was so nice to me and was
so glad she could make me feel better when I needed it. I did know tha she
was sick herself at that time and could know how I felt. I wish I had known
that she was sick so I could have returned the the favor before she passed
away.
I got a nice autographed photo from George Sewell. Marc are you ever
going to put that one on the site some place?
That all the stuff I have other than the stuff Gabrielle had sent over
the past 22 years(letters, cards, photos, programs clippings). I reached Ed
and Mike and Dolores and maybe Wanda but if they replied it must have gotten
lost in the mail. I gave up trying to contact the cast after the killings of
John Lennon and Rebecca Shaffer and the attack on Teressa Saldonno coming so
close together. I was hot on the trail of Antonia Ellis in Hollywood and I
didn't want anyone to think I was stalking her or any of the others in the
cast.
So how's that for a chat.
