A colleague I worked with in Philadelphia is now 91 and still pretty sharp. Seventy years ago she was taking a drama course at Northwestern Univ. in Illinois. The chairs were arranged alphabetically - she was letter H - the gal in the next chair was letter I - name - Phylis Isley. At the end of the course my friend decided the stage was not for her and chose accounting. Miss Isley went off to Hollywood, changed her name to Jennifer Jones and won an Oscar for her role in Song of Bernadette. Fame is sometimes just one chair - one letter - away.
