Well, she was considered a very great actress and, of course, founded The Herbert Bergoff acting studio in NYC. She was the original Martha in Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf and was supposed to be explosive in that role. She was married to Jose Ferrer, a friend of my husband, who said she was exactly like that. I only saw her once on stage at the end of her life and she was so technical as to be dead on stage. That’s not to knock her; she was getting older and as we say, no one is famous for nothing.

If you rent The Boys in the Band, you’ll see her as a Nazi. Not a good-looking woman.

My connection with Uta Hagen, the actress, is the NY Times crossword puzzle.

Did that puzzle for 35 years. Never finished the Sunday puzzle.

Well, maybe once or twice.
