As a founding member of Tony Randall's National Actors Theatre, in 1992, Carol appeared in their first two productions A Little Hotel on the Side and as Tituba in The Crucible.

For the Williamstown Theatre Festival she appeared in Hot l Baltimore (2000).
Here is our mini-interview.
If you were to die tomorrow, would you feel that you have done all that you set out to do?
If I were to die tomorrow I would have to say that there is more in life that I would like to achieve so I wouldn't be satisfied there are a lot of things that I still have to do.

What is your mission in Life?
My mission in life is to give back. I have been given so much in life. I've been helped by so many people. So it is my mission to spread the wealth with those who are less fortunate.  I place great value in the talent that has been given by God. I have an inmate ability to love people, not for who they are but for just them being human beings and I am a giver so I continue to give until it hurts.
 If I have ill feelings towards someone, I pray about it first. And I have a saying that I live by "if you pray don't worry, if you worry don't pray". I just leave them in the hands of God and you know what? Your Arms are too short to box with God!

What was your favorite toy as a kid?
When I was a child I asked my mom to get me a life-size doll that could walk and talk and she did the best she could, she got me the biggest Doll she could find. But my most favorite gift was the easy bake oven. From that day on I was smitten by the, let's be a Chef bug. I'm a great cook today and I have been for years.

Your thoughts on "failure" and moving beyond it
I really don't find failure so difficult because when I am confronted by a situation, I tackle it head on and I do the best I can and if it's a "failure", it is not because I didn't put my best effort forth and if it's a "failure", I deal with the consequences and I pick myself up and get back in the race. That's life!

Finish this sentence:I smile today because...
 I love life, it's a gift!

When I interviewed Carol, it was Friday. What does this day mean to you?
Hey, it's Friday and since I am a retiree, it doesn't mean a darn thing to me except I'm alive and well and healthy and I thank God that I'm here. But Friday means a lot for the 9-to-5ers  who have Saturday and Sunday off so I'm happy for them.

Your Secret Passion
My secret passion, well if I told you that it wouldn't be a secret, silly! But anything that I'm passionate about I don't think I have to keep it secret because how is anybody going to know how to help me if I don't tell them. So, I want to do a sitcom!

What brings you the most joy?
The thing that brings me the most joy in my life is God and my family and friends. It's not easy to find ones.

It's My Birthday...and I'll Sing If I Want To!

Happy February 11th, 2016!
55 years ago today, I made my debut. I was born at 12:55 AM in Conway, South Carolina. Notice those double fives. I've always considered five a lucky number. I arrived on the 5th of August in 1979, a birth, of sorts. I would have come in May 1979 if I wasn't still in school.
I look forward to the next 55 years! I have seen a lot in my lifetime, especially over the past 37 years.
At 55,I have enough wisdom to claim experience without thinking I know it all.
I am "senior" without feeling like a senior citizen. I can get discounts at some movie theaters depending on how honest I are about my age.
I was born on a Saturday to Richard Hampton

and Wilmina Skipper, their first.
The US president was John F. Kennedy (Democratic). In that special week of February people in US were listening to Will You Love Me Tomorrow? by The Shirelles. In UK Are You Lonesome Tonight? by Elvis Presley was in the top 5 hits. Gold of the Seven Saints, directed by Gordon Douglas, was one of the most viewed movies released in 1961 while Advise And Consent by Allen Drury was one of the best selling books.
Happy Birthday to Carey Lowell February 11th 1961 as well! She has been a credited actor since the 1989 film Licence to Kill.
Most Baby Boomers who have already reached the benchmark of 55 years of age are not yet aware of the myriad of age 55 perks we can take advantage of. Asking for our “senior” discount doesn’t mean we are on our last legs. It means that we have experienced a rite of passage that allows us to meet our daily needs and enjoy many cultural and recreational activities at great lower prices!

ANC leader Nelson Mandela and wife Winnie raise fists upon his release from Victor Verster prison, 11 February 1990 in Paarl.

Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years On This Day in 1990.  
Leslie Nielsen would've turned 90 On This Day. 
February 11 is the 42nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 324 days remaining until the end of the year. 
With some ingenuity and a power-house marketer, a plastic that was originally made for the military became a kitchen staple. Earl Tupper was the creator of Tupperware but a young divorced mother from Detroit, Michigan came up with the marketing plan that made Tupperware legendary. 
Max Baer was born on this date in 1909. Same year,  1909 – Joseph L. Mankiewicz, director, producer, and screenwriter (d. 1993). Mankiewicz has a distinction that MIGHT be matched this year. If Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu Oscar this year, he will become the first back-to-back Oscar winner in the best director category since Joseph L. Mankiewicz in 1950, and only third filmmaker to turn the trick overall. (John Ford was the other back-to-back winner.)

On this date in 1904, Matt Dennis, American singer-songwriter and pianist (d. 2002)
Eva Gabor was born on this date! Hungarian-American actress (d. 1995).  She was widely known for her role on the 1965-71 television sitcom Green Acres as Lisa Douglas, the wife of Eddie Albert's character, Oliver Wendell Douglas. She voiced "Duchess" in the 1970 Disney film The Aristocats, and Miss Bianca in Disney’s The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under. Gabor was successful as an actress in film, on Broadway and on television. She was also a successful businessperson, marketing wigs, clothing and beauty products. Her elder sisters, Zsa Zsa and Magda Gabor, were also actresses and socialites.
Kim Stanley was also born on this day in 1925.
Well, I'm off for a day full of celebrations! Thanks for your support and here's to the next 55!
Thank you to all of the artists mentioned in this blog for the gifts you have given to the world and continue to give!

The Great Parade: Peter Filichia, and this date through the years!

Fanny Brice: Where I come from, when two people... well, sort of love each other... oh, never mind.
Nick Arnstein: Well? What do they do when they "sort of love each other"?
Fanny Brice: Well, one of them says, "Why don't we get married?"
Nick Arnstein: Really?
Fanny Brice: Yeah, and sometimes it's even the man. 

Happy February 8th!
Happy Chinese New Year! It is the year of the monkey. 
February 8 is the 39th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 327 days remaining until the end of the year.
Today, I am looking at Februar8 th and all that it holds with a special emphasis on this date in 1963.
One of my horoscopes tells me and my fellow Aquarians to analyze a situation deeply because we just desire to make sure the outcome is what we desire.
If you are trying to learn Spanish then this day of the week in Spanish is viernes.

A person born on this day will be 53 years old today. If that same person saved a Penny every day starting at age 6, then by now that person has accumulated $171.66 today. That is, assuming this person is still alive and kicking.
On this date in 1963, travel, financial and commercial transactions by United States citizens to Cuba

are made illegal by the John F. Kennedy administration.
 February 8th 1963 was Friday, under the sign of Aquarius. The US president was John F. Kennedy (Democratic). In that special week of February people in US were listening to Hey Paula by Paul and Paula. In UK The Next Time / Bachelor Boy by Cliff Richard was in the top 5 hits.

King Vidor was born on this date in 1894. Although, he is not officially credited, he directed the black and white portions of The Wizard of Oz. If nothing else, I applaud his expert staging and filming of Over the Rainbow.

Broadway doesn't always get invited to the Grammy party. In fact, it is rarely included in the annual ceremony, despite the fact that a musical-theater album is awarded a statue every year. However, continuing its unprecedented dominance in the world of Broadway and beyond, the (Grammy-nominated) cast of Hamilton will contribute to the 58th awards ceremony, performing live via satellite from the Richard Rodgers Theatre.(Read MORE)

What are the best qualities you inherited from your parents, and the worst?
Best: generosity. Worst: naivete

Favorite theater?

The Winter Garden (The Winter Garden Theatre was dark on February 8th, 1963)

Could you tell me what your creative process is like?
I just work all the time. Whenever I get home, it's right over to the computer.
When I see a show, I take copious notes. For the recent FIDDLER, I filled TWO Playbills worth of notes. When I come home, I transcribe to the computer. Then I just go back to the top, read them all, find what notes can link to others, and do this all the way down to the bottom, when I go back to the top and start again -- and then
I'll find that MORE sentences link. I repeat the process and eventually I have an
article (and a few sentences left over that I simply delete).

If you could get rid of one thing, what would it be? 

A day that ONLY encompasses twenty-four hours. I LOVE that day in October when we turn back the clocks and I get the extra hour to work.

Do you think that Barbra Streisand should have beat out Carol Channing for the Best Actress in a Musical Tony - -and do you feel that FUNNY GIRL should have beaten HELLO, DOLLY! for Best Score.

No to both. Learn more on Saturday at American Popular Song Society. (See below).

Thank you, Peter Filichia,for the gifts you have given to the world and continue to give! 

Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward.
