From the Paparazzi Files
Nearly everyone can remember the occasion when they first met
Fran Levine. And most have no difficulty recalling when and
where they last saw liz gonzález. But some Speechless
readers might be wondering who is that guy in the
middle? His face looks so familiar....
In 1969 Hector Elizondo won a Tony for his persuasive portrayal
of God in the guise of a Puerto Rican steam room attendant in
Bruce Jay Friedman's play, Steambath. He appeared with
Eli Wallach in the critically acclaimed Broadway revival of
Arthur Miller's The Price. His movies include
American Gigolo, Garry Marshall's The Flamingo Kid,
Frankie and Johnny, Tortilla Soup and Pretty Woman,
which earned him a Golden Globe nomination for his memorable
turn as the hotel manager. In 1997 he received an Emmy for his
role as Dr. Phillip Watters in the TV drama Chicago Hope. He's
an actor who still feels closer to the stage than the movies,
and he likes poetry. Imagine that. The occasion is Philip
Levine's reading at Beyond Baroque in March 2005.
