Argh. I wish this board had an edit function. I hate seeing typos AFTER I've posted! Oh well. :)

How lucky Ms. Macedo was to see Tyrone on stage, live!!

One can see from his films that he would purport himself well on stage.

I'm glad that Ty did have the chance to do live theatre in his later years along with his films.

Speaking of film and theatre, while Henry Fonda did well in the movie "Mr. Roberts", I'm sure Ty did equally well in the same role in London theatre. I would have loved to have seen the palm tree get thrown overboard by Ty or the bedroom scene when Mr. Roberts talks to the captain--in fact, imagine Ty being in the film with James Cagney.

Again, Henry Fonda did well in that role and I'm not trying to take anything from him, but can't help but think of Ty and James Cagney "squabbling" more than the decks!

(Funny, those combinations we need to enter below--the last to posts had TP in them!)

Yeah, who knows, for even though he received terrific reviews for "Mr. Roberts", it was generally agreed that Hank Fonda was a bit more suited to the role, and I suspect they were right. Fonda had that Everyman persona a bit more, I thought and would have probably served that role a bit better. Still, the good reviews he got for Roberts are telling, IMHO.

What say you?

Great stuff as usual Peachtree :-)!!!

"Naturalness. Strong gestures, when the character’s reaction required it. Gentleness with women, when the story was about love. Perfect clarity. Mastery of gesture. Precision in judging the requirements of performance… Tyrone captivated you seeing him live on stage, in front of the lights… Everything about him was overflowing with human qualities.”

Makes the fact that we couldn't see him on stage all the more bittersweet!! He really must have taken acting to another dimension on stage (or at the very least it may have been more layered).

The 'outside' info. that these aricles offer is fantastic!!
