“What I remember most was a scene where Buddy goes to a coffee shop counter and can’t get service, it was hilarious. (Refers to the opening of episode 5)
I have a deep affection for Buddy, he was extraordinary — he was a star, I was just getting jobs here and there, he was kind and gracious and wonderful to be around. Seven years later I was in Hollywood doing ’77 Sunset Strip and stepped out our stage door for a breath of air. Music Man was shooting in the sound stage across the studio street. Buddy came out, met me in the middle of the street, we gave each other an enormous hug and he started quoting MY part from STANLEY. He said, “I’ve never forgotten a single line from any show!” What a mind he had!
