Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership — a long-running company puts the same forty people together every night — but it is where one would start looking. 9 of these names are not links because we hold no record behind them; the name is set from the identifier and its punctuation may be wrong.

  • When I told actor-turned-director-and-producer Don Scardino that Sam’s had been demolished, he reacted: “No! It’s not there anymore? I didn’t even realize. It’s criminal that they tore it down. I used to go there all the time and see George C. Scott sitting at the bar in the middle of the afternoon.

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Any portrait. 1,626 of 7,139 people have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
  • Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor, director — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
