I agree with you Davidh and Nan, and...
I don't know of Zero Mostel, although the name sounds familiar.Well, this is a heavy topic, and it's very enjoyable to discuss it with intelligent people. (That means everyone who's contributed to this date) :)Andrea

You're a schmartie, yourself, Andrea -- but c'mon. A Broadway babe like you has *got* to know who Zero Mostel was. Does *The Producers* ring a bell? :)-- Nanaea

Also rent "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" while you're at it. Oh yeah, and...Zero was also the original Tevye in the Broadway production of *Fiddler on the Roof* (long before the movie version came out). He also appears in Woody Allen's *The Front*, as Zero had actually been one of those actors (as portrayed in the movie) blacklisted during the McCarthy Era.-- Nanaea
