Not original to me, but a good one: there’s an oft-told story that endeared [Alan] Alda to me as well: Sometime in the last decade he attended an dinner ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II and while standing in the reception line, he realized he was next to Donald Sutherland, who originated the role of Hawkeye Pierce in the film version of M*A*S*H. Alda leaned over to Sutherland and whispered, “Thank you for my life.”
That is quite lovely.

yes, Goddess, it longs to serve, worship and adore You, Goddess.
Confession: this is why Charles Gray is my favorite Mycroft!
To contrast him physically even more with Sherlock, I think Mycroft should have a deep, soft-spoken voice to go with Sherlock's voice being described as high and piercing.
Also, Mycroft speaks very slowly, while Sherlock runs his mouth at a million miles an hour. :)

Mine was T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone.
Dear friends who enjoyed Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, his first guest star, Gayle Hunnicutt, who played Irene Adler in the series first episode, “A Scandal in Bohemia” has died at 80 years old. Her Adler was superb.
Edward is even more remarkable. I'll give you an example. You can publish it or not, it makes no difference to me. When I came out of the asylum, the person who collected me was Edward Hardwicke. He took me to an Italian restaurant. I had a pasta and a glass of red wine. He then drove me back to my home where we sat and had a cup of tea. It was Edward Hardwicke. He is one of the loveliest people, and I suppose he is the best friend that any man has ever had....in life. Which is after all how Doyle describes Watson.

I love them all. Striking Loretta Swit is a Goddess.
Alan Alda, Wayne Rogers and Loretta Swit (also with Jack Klugman, Ricardo Montalban and Ralph Bellamy) participating in the 1980 actors' strike with then-separate unions, SAG and AFTRA.

I am often asked if I feel Life at Collinwood to be stressful. Well, of course! My first wife was a Phoenix, my second a literal witch, and my wife to be, the former Victoria Winters, is now several years older than I, after multiple travels through time.
