OMG! There’s a blast from the past! Oscar Levant.... I’ll bet we are the only people on this forum to know who he was!
I knew. LOL.
I know who he is. A very gifted pianist & actor. He was in AN AMERICAN IN PARIS. That’s the movie my parents went to see the night they realized they were in love. We love us some Oscar Levant in my family.
What a talented, funny, and troubled human being. He was a friend to the Gershwins, and he could play their music more artfully than could they.
