[QUOTE="Barbara Fan, post: 253053, member: 21"] A few more quotes from James Grissom interviewing people and disscussing or about / from BBG "All through the night there was a flash of white, a blinking, something starry and bright in the seats. It was Marilyn [Monroe], gorgeous and glowing. One more wonderful memory of that night and that play."--Barbara Bel Geddes on Marilyn Monroe's attendance at the opening of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" at the Morosco Theater, in 1955/ [ATTACH type="full" width="200px" alt="1610892835136.png"]24534[/ATTACH] "She best understood hunger and desire and the pain of being rejected--sexually, socially. Frighteningly bright, eager. Lovely Barbara."--Elia Kazan on Barbara Bel Geddes and why he cast her as Maggie the Cat in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"/Interview with James Grissom/ "I used hunger a lot as an emotion. Then madness, anger. We all become babies, infants, when we are crying out for what we want or need, and Maggie is being denied on all fronts: Love; sex; respect; standing; a voice. She is forever on the side, begging for entry. So it wasn't pleasant, even if it was real. It was therapeutic, though, because during that run, I tended to get what I wanted, because I refused to be as hungry as Maggie."--Barbara Bel Geddes on playing Maggie the Cat in Tennessee Williams's "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," in 1955 (From interview with James Grissom) [/QUOTE]
