Rick McKay has shared another video from his trilogy, BROADWAY: THE GOLDEN AGE. In his words, "Here is a tribute to my pal Marian Seldes, one of the great actresses of the stage of the last century and well into this one. Marian passed away yesterday, leaving many of us devastated. However, she lived a long, full life and touched many, many people with her work. In her later career she was known variously as "Broadway's Quiet Lioness," "The First Lady of Broadway," or as theater critic Clive Barnes called her, "America's theatrical diva for our time."" Check out the tribute video!
McKay continues, "I have included footage from Marian in the first film of our Broadway trilogy, "Broadway: The Golden Age." Sadly, I didn't realize until I edited this today that every single star seen on screen in that chapter has passed away since I filmed them. I have also included footage from after a few of our shoots when we were talking candidly before and after posing for press photos. Marian was completely at ease and it is very moving for me to hear the lovely things she says about my work and our trilogy. Later there is also a clip of the great actor Ben Gazzara talking after our last shoot together. While always in sync, it is amazing for me to see, for the first time, Ben and I doing simultaneous, loving homages/imitations of our mutual pal Marian. Ben, the ultimate tough guy movie star and stage actor, was never funnier than here doing a spot-on Marian. Tragically, Ben was gone within the year as well.Rick McKay's new film Broadway: Beyond the Golden Age will be out next year -- support his Broadway Trilogy by making a tax-deductible donation here, and be sure to watch the trailer for the upcoming installment!
