“Another time, later in my life, I was sitting in a restaurant across the street from the New York Shakespeare Festival’s Public Theater. The actors were sitting around a table with a red-and-white checkered tablecloth and an umbrella. The sun was coming in from the shade—it looked like a Renoir painting. There were seven or eight of them, talking. I said to my friend, ‘You see them? I can’t get my eyes off that group.’ It was as though they had existed hundreds of years and you could see their roots, their background, how much like a family they were; how that was something I always wanted… I was drawn to them. Maybe that is what I want… I don’t know.” • Dreamy 1973 photo by Tony Korody.
