I lived in the neighborhood between 1970-'75 and then again during and after high school from 1979-'84 in the apartment building on Hamilton Drive directly behind the theater. In addition to countless movies seen there, in the early '80s after it was converted to a legitimate stage, hosting the likes of Henry Fonda starring in "The Oldest Living Graduate," and Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in "Private Lives," my bedroom window overlooked the stage door area and I can't tell you how many times I'd camp out there after shows and call out "Mr. Fonda!" or "Miss Taylor!" or "Mr. Burton!" and getting a wave and/or a "Goodnight!" in return. A touring production of "A Chorus Line" had an extended stay there in 1982 and I can remember one point each night during the show when a handful of the women in the cast would exit stage left via the back door on Hamilton and then jog along the back walkway, reentering through the stage door, and it became a habit to await their arrival and those fleeting moments when they would occasionally wave or blow me kisses.

Given to me by the manager of the Fox Theater in 1976 I went opening night plus three more times the first week. I just had it framed and is hanging on my bedroom wall. Great to see these old photos Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028659640177914792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740044687026723126.post-49419005056713168262019-02-21T09:44:25.793-08:002019-02-21T09:44:25.793-08:00Such memories for me through my childhood and adol...Such memories for me through my childhood and adolescent years.
