City, State: Beverly Hills CA Comments: What a fun, lovely, loving interview with Carole Cook. It was such a pleasure to see Carole, Lee Roy Reams, and David Galligan together, and I thank you for making that happen, Richard. It continually amazes me that my aunt Carole still has such drive, spirit, and enthusiasm for performing and for engaging with people in general. Having watched and enjoyed several of your direct interviews as well as segments fondly remembering significant personalities (Judy Garland and Jerry Herman come to mind), I was aware of your desire to seek out and “Celebrate” the best talents of each individual fortunate enough to be featured. Your time with Carole was no exception. Richard, your ability to recognize, honor, and highlight Carole’s best qualities made for an immensely enjoyable, lively, at times poignant hour. Thank you, Richard Skipper! Incidentally, my first time to view a performance of Carole’s (and my very first live theater experience) was when she appeared in the title role of “Auntie Mame” in New Braunfels, Texas. I recall watching her glide down the iconic “Beekman Place” staircase, seeing her pull a fox from her jacket, and generally command the stage. I was four-years-old, and I was allowed to sit on my knees in my seat in order to look past the adult heads in front of me. In hindsight it strikes me as prescient that I should have initially viewed her as everyone’s favorite aunt, Mame Dennis, since Carole shares much of that fictional character’s joi de vivre, and the role provided a kind of template for our enduring relationship. (As an aside, luckily Carole did not pursue her interest in Greek drama. A performance of “Medea” with Carole in the title role would undoubtedly have made an entirely different impression on four-year-old me.) Mark Cocanougher, Beverly Hills CA Carole Cook: July 23, 2022
City, State: New York, NY Website: www.peggydillardtoone.com Comments: I sincerely thank Richard Skipper for the opportunity to share our journeys and more than anything make a new friend! His southern hospitality and graciousness kept me grounded in my humble beginnings. I was having a “full circle moment.” I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship and a lifelong collaboration! He inspired me beyond words to stay in the game of life! Long live King Richard and of course my dearest friend and daily prayer warrior Tess La Bella! You are the best!
