[ Whispers ]
Oh. my God.
[Richard] "One of the most revered
actresses on the American stage,
for many,years, she was the
theater's greatest box office draw. "
"Under the guidance ofher
manager, William Fawcett Robinson,
Elise McKenna was the first American actress
to create a my,stique in the public's ey,e. "
"Never seen in public
in her lateryears,
"apparently, without
an offstage life,
the absolute quintessence
ofseclusion. "
Excuse me. do you have
any theater biographies...
that aren't in the racks under
the rare books or magazines?
Well. we do have
some magazines.
but they're in the back.
and I'd have to find them.
And-- Oh. could you
do that for me. please?
Well. all right.
Thanks. I'm in the back.
Okay.
Great!
Here you are.
Oh. Thank you. Thank you. Mm-hmm.
Yes? Uh. hello. yes. M-Miss Roberts?
Yes. Hi. uh. my name's Richard Collier.
and I just read your book on famous American
actresses. and I really enjoyed it a lot.
What is it you want?
Information about Elise McKenna.
What sort
of information?
Well. I'm a playwright. and I was thinking
about doing a play based on her life.
And. of course. I'd
have to talk-- I'm sorry.
Ma'am. please.
Please. don't.
This is not for a play.
Miss Roberts.
This is something
very personal.
I don't understand.
Where did you get that?
She gave it to me. ma'am. at the
opening night of a play that I wrote...
at Millfield College
That watch was
very precious to her.
She never. never left it
out of her possession.
It disappeared
the night she died.
She died that night?
Won't you come in.
please?
Thank you.
I have some things I've been
saving for the theater collection.
That was a costume from
one of the plays she was in.
Miss Roberts.
what was she like?
When I knew her.
she was kind and thoughtful.
but she was just
too much within herself.
She. she seemed
empty somehow.
Well. she wasn't always
that way. was she?
Oh. no. not at all.
People who knew her
when she was young said...
that she was quick and bright
and full of fun.
strong. willful. not at
all the way she was later.
What made her change?
I don't know,
aftershe performed in a
play, at the Grand Hotel.
That was her manager,
William Robinson.
Was he really as strange as you
seemed to indicate in the book?
There was something strange
about their relationship.
