Burt is one of the sharpest Hollywood historians around, and a conservative too. He has a good book on the people he met there. Worth getting for entertainment buffs.
Burt: Edward Everett Horton was a graduate of my high school, Baltimore City College HS, I think it was the class of 1916. Later we had Garrison (Gary) Moore (Gary Moore Show), the school clown, according to my uncle who went to school with him. And then Michael Tucker, my friend, teammate and club-mate, Class of ‘62 - “Radio Days”, “Diner”, “LA Law” etc.
Ah, those were the days.
George Kennedy will be missed. Thanks for the nice send-off.
City HS was once one of the two premier public high schools in Baltimore, the other being the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (Poly for short). City has unfortunately and regrettably declined, a perfect example of the public schools failure. Poly OTOH continues to thrive (perhaps its most famous alumnus is H L Mencken). Two of my B-I-Ls are City grads; I went to Poly.
Thanks! I’ll make sure Burt sees your remark.
