And an intelligent Actor...what an exception.

I caught only the first half hour of the "Live At Actors Studio" with Alan Alda.

What an Egomaniac!

He had me charmed the first 30minutes or so, with his exceptional intelligence vis. Acting...but then he blew it...BIG TIME!

The question was...when discussing his role as "Hawk Eye" in M*A*S*H
...what do you think made your character so popular and loved ?

Alda pauses a moment and says...words to this effect...I think it was when I started speaking out publically for the Equal Rights Amendment.

That did it, and it confirms for me all of the pre-conceived things one associates with those out of touch, Left Coast, Dumb Actors, who actually believes in their own press releases. A truly embarassing moment for Alda, and I will remember it now when I watch his Tv performances in M*A*S*H.

Redford is sincere about his feelings on a number of public issues, but he always has had Class...and never let with his passions got out of control...at least publically.
