I Am A Camera

A new blog, with a name coined by writer Christopher Isherwood with double meanings, of course.

His short story "Goodbye to Berlin" was turned into -- the play, "I Am A Camera," which was one of the big hits in Julie Harris's career.

Almost everyone won a major award in some incarnation of "Goodbye To Berlin"; Hal Prince, Joel Grey, Peg Murray (whom I performed with in Wendy Wasserstein's "Isn't it Romantic"); Julie Harris, and Liza.

And that's all due to today's portrait, Christopher Isherwood.
