I still maintain that ol' Zsa Zsa will never die! lol

I actually got to meet and talk with Abe Vigoda many years ago. It was back in 1986, and I was called in to meet with him and discuss possible ideas for his makeup because he was going to appear in a revival of the play "Arsenic & Old Lace." His character was supposed to look like Boris Karloff (who originated the role in 1941) after recent plastic surgery. We talked for about a half-hour, and I tried out a couple of ideas on his face. Ultimately, we both decided to downplay any heavy makeup, and just suggest a couple of scars with makeup pencils. He probably didn't need that either, because his face certainly had that baleful, gaunt look without my "enhancements"!

We didn't discuss GF, or "Barney Miller" or anything like that, though. But he was a very nice fellow, no "star ego". He was just what you saw in his interviews. Just a regular guy who happened to be a working actor.

R.I.P., Abe.
