For over 50 years I have been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians and many progressive non-profit organizations. I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it. In addition I have written over 100 songs which would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.

I met her only once. I bought all her albums on CD. She sang perfectly. Yet to meet her was a wonderful occasion. Polly was warm and friendly and very "natural" and beautiful.

Jan Clayton told me that Terry Saunders was working with her in FOLLIES and she was very fond of Terry.

I have a couple of fond memories of Terry Saunders. In 1968, she was playing Lady Thiang/Mother Abbess back-to-back in summer stock in my home town, and I introduced myself as a fan. I spoke to her of my excitement about my first trip to New York the following week- a college theatre tour. She was very gracious and sweet in sharing my excitement and my enthusiasm about musical theatre, and about Rodgers and Hammerstein in particular, and seemed quite pleased that I even knew who she was, let alone that I was a fan. We spent an entire night's dress rehearsal in conversation when she wasn't on stage.
I re-introduced myself in 1972 backstage at FOLLIES and she seemed pleased to meet me again. By the way, she shared that stage during "Who's That Woman?" with Jan Clayton- talk about being in R&H heaven! (Ms. Clayton was extremely sweet and gracious, as well.)
The last time I spoke to Ms. Saunders was in 1980 at a gathering in NYC after I had moved here. She seemed happy I had made it here and I was happy to have shared that particular arc of time with her. A lovely, lovely lady.

I thought she was a wonderful actress.

The third time I met Gwen Verdon was in a restaurant in Fort Lee, NJ. I said, "My buddy Scotty and I went to New Hope NJ to see you in Damn Yankees. Let's surprise her." I covered Scotty's eyes and said, "Who is your favorite dancer?" And Scotty said, "Caterina Valenti!" And Gwen said, "CATERINA VALENTI!!!???" I said, "That is your favorite singer. Who is your favorite dancer?" And Scotty said, "Fluid Motion: Gwen Verdon!" With that answer, Gwen gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug!

I met Stuart Whitman with my Bay Ridge High School buddy, Anita Dieppa. He was really thrilled to be recognized, especially for Darby's Rangers. He was very nice to meet and I told him I had a twin brother named Stewart, and that amused him because it was not a common name. It was an exceptionally memorable day because that was the day that Anita and I met Troy Donahue, Stuart Whitman, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Betty White!

No. I am not employed by this site. I have spent a lifetime collecting autographs and being a publicist. It put me in a position of meeting thousands of famous people. I treasured meeting most of them and I want these kind, generous and talented people to be remembered. Many jealous relatives do NOT want them to be cherished, so I make tributes to them. Most were household names at one time.

Happy Birthday, Robert. Hope you are singing with the angels. (Another song of mine!)
