City, State: New York, NY Website: peter mintun.com Comments: Richard Skipper, How fortunate I was to have witnessed your tribute to Carol Channing. There is nobody else I would trust as much as you to produce such a charming and meaningful retrospective. It is obvious you have mastered the art of the virtual celebration. You had the good taste to choose unexpected and fascinating highlights from Channing’s long and stunning career. I don’t think I’ll ever get over the shock of seeing Cecilia Sisson's hat in your possession! I also appreciate the gentle way you coaxed stories from Sondra Lee, who is usually more focused about the here and now rather than the 'good old days'. I was truly surprised at the depth of her stories tonight. What a dear! Each of your guests was thoughtfully chosen, meaningful and entertaining. Your program is definitely worthy of the Peabody Award. Every theater archive should have this program in their collection. Sincerely, Peter Mintun (New York)
City, State: Los Angeles, CA Website: genekelly.com Comments: Richard Skipper, Thank you for celebrating Gene Kelly on Richard Skipper Celebrates and on such a special day for me—the 25th anniversary of Gene's death. On its face, it is not a day to "celebrate," but chatting with you and sharing stories about Gene and his work gave me an opportunity to reflect on the many dimensions of Gene and of the contributions he made and continues to make. Part of my agreeing to be with you is your generosity of spirit and your decency. Gene would respect both. I look forward to joining you again when I have more news to share. In the meantime, be well and please continue your good work. Love, Patricia (Mrs. Gene Kelly), Los Angeles, CA
City, State: San Francisco, California Comments: Richard Skipper's illuminating conversation 2/2/21 with brilliant Patricia Ward Kelly was a fascinating tribute to timelessly phenomenal Gene Kelly on this poignant 25th anniversary of his passing. Gene's remarkable, unique legacy is in the best possible mind, heart, hands, and voice of Patricia who thoroughly understands the vast cultural value of sharing the truth about such an incomparable, multi-gifted life force. How we comport and express ourselves in this world is indeed key to being humane and present, and three inspiring people worthy of celebration are definitely Patricia, Gene, and Richard. Alan K.
