Charles was great. The Match Game wouldn't have been the same without his dry wit, and fun personaliy.

"...these two actors are among the greatest that this country has ever had" with regards to The Gin Game (Lyceum Theatre 1997) are Charles Durning and Julie Harris (nominated for a Tony). Reilly was nominated for a Tony for his direction and the play itself was nominated for best revival.

Mr Theater Talk is gay too. I didn't know Charles was a director until after he died. Huge talent there, on Match Game, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, all the funny movies. Wish I could have met him, oh well.
That Hartford, CT circus disaster, what a nightmare. No wonder it stayed with Charles. The tent top was covered in paraffin mixed with gasoline which rained down like napalm on the 7,000+ crowd, although most of the 168 dead (2/5 under 15 yrs.) died from being trampled. There was a bad omen prior. Circus superstition had it that canceled shows were very bad luck, and one of the Hartford shows had just been canceled...Photos show Charles witnessed a fearsome inferno.
