Yes thank you for this report. I only heard about the memorial Monday morning & was unable to attend. I admired Michael McGrath since I first saw him in Forbidden Broadway & the one time I spoke with him it was playing a little joke on Martin Short, so I'm especially pleased he hosted the memorial.
I've told this story here before, but during the run of Goodbye Girl I saw McGrath, Short & a few others dining at Barrymore's. We were leaving shortly after they arrived, so they were not yet eating. On my way out I stopped at their table and stammered that I was sorry to interrupt them at a restaurant but wanted to say what a big fan I was and how much I admired his talent while darting my eyes around. Martin Short magnanimously stood up to acknowledge me & shake my hand right when I said 'it's such an honor to meet you Mr McGrath' & everyone at the table laughed and I quickly explained I loved them both. I still remember the twinkle in Michael McGrath's eyes at that moment. |
