Myjourney to meeting Lindsay Crouse fits. Now, one of my most endearing andpoignant afternoons. How does this happen? I watch ‘All the President’s Men’ asa journalist every eight weeks. A bit OCD. Two weeks ago, I wondered who playedKay Eddy at the Washington Post. Lindsay Crouse. A bright light bulb. ‘SlapShot’ with Paul Newman. All her roles are complicated women.  Energized, I reached out, something I’ve never done. Here weare. I love it when my cerebral process is swirling with input. Lindsay isbrilliant, accomplished, gracious, passionate, and consummate. Beneath thecamera on Zoom, I ceremoniously pinch myself. There is so much to thisinterview with Lindsay. You all need to watch. Replete with synchronicity andspirituality.Her father, Russel Crouse, was an accomplished playwrightwith Howard Lindsay. (A Tony Award for the book, ‘Sound of Music.’) Her mother,Anna, was an actress and activist. She learned it’s a privilege to be an actor.Her father asked whether she wanted to act. He said, “It’s a dirty business.”  I’m frozen, absorbingher words. She studied with Uta Hagen, Sandy Meisner (both legends), andElizabeth Dickson (who taught Katherine Hepburn). All that instructional energywent into Lindsay’s performance in ‘The Verdict.’ I watched the movie onSunday. Lindsay is amazingly riveting. Then her Academy Award-nominatedperformance in ‘Places in the Heart.’ Her director, Robert Benton, from Texas,was brilliant. The movie’s ending is brilliant. Someone said, after beingnominated for the Academy Award, “It will be tough for you now.” Working with her then-husband David Mamet in ‘House ofGames’. A minimalist director. “We trusted each other.”  I asked another question. Lindsay answered,“Abraham Lincoln.” Enough said for now. A sumptuous, magical interview. Lindsayis perfectly gracious.” Calvin🎙️ 819+ Interviews &Videos; 5 ½ years (AI-ranked podcast in these categories in the top 1 -2%Globally!)📺 9,550+ Subscribers —and growing👉 Please Subscribe:https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEsGLOBAL Reach.
