Anne Jackson, Eli Wallach and their daughter Katherine Wallach attended the Tennessee Williams’ tribute. Eli and Katherine Wallach took part in the program with a reading of Tennessee Williams’ one-act play, “Mister Paradise.” As they left the stage, Mr. Wallach turned to the audience and said, “That’s my daughter!” The audience responded with their heart-felt applause.
As the smiling father and daughter returned to their seats, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Mr. Wallach’s performance with Kate Winslet in the romantic comedy, The Holiday, a late night favorite of mine.
Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson wrote the foreword to Tennessee Williams’ Mister Paradise and Other One-Act Plays published by New Directions.
