== Commentary == | |||
A message Joe wrote to the mailing list on 2006 August 9: | |||
<blockquote>'No, the ex-husband who delivers the final tirade is the actor Mark | |||
Hammer, who was working at Arena Stage in Washington DC at the time | |||
and performed all the scenes over the phone with his wife (DC to LA). | |||
Larry played the president of the company called, "Rent-a-Family," who | |||
attempted to rationalize his vision. Barbara Sohmers played the | |||
unhinged ex-wife--a wonderfully talented person who also appears in a | |||
short film available on the web site called "Memories." I've been out | |||
of touch with her for years. She could be the writer of mystery | |||
novels (I think she spoke of that ambition). When last I communicated | |||
with her she had been ill with a disease that affected her ability to | |||
speak and therefore could no longer perform as an actress. I am | |||
shocked to hear that she died--if she's the same person.'</blockquote> | |||
