A long time ago, it was sometime in the mid-50’s, I was in NYC and was going to go see the stage production of “Seven Year Itch” starring Tom Ewell. We got to the theatre about two hours ahead of the curtain and popped into the bar next door. It was practically empty except for the guy sitting at the bar. We sat down next to him and began chatting. We told him we were in town to see the show. We chatted for a while. He left, telling us to “enjoy the show.”
In the theatre, the curtain went up. There's a guy on a chaise lounge reading something I think. Suddenly, from the apartment above him, a flower pot falls, narrowly missing him. "Son-of-a-bitch!" It was Tom Ewell. Who knew?
He later appeared in the film version with Marilyn Monroe. Here's a famous shot from that movie.
