A Visit from Mariette Hartley



What a treat to meet actress Mariette Hartley, who plays actor Alfred Lunt's mother in the upcoming Cleveland Play House production of Jeffrey Hatcher's play, "Ten Chimneys." She visited WCLV Friday, January 6th, to record an "On Stage" feature with the Play House's Lisa Craig.

Left to right are Mariette Hartley, Lisa Craig, Jim Mehrling (WCLV's production manager), and the Queen of the Morn. After the taping, Jim Mehrling was overheard chatting with Ms. Hartley about her memorable Poloroid television ads with James Garner.

Performances of "Ten Chmineys" begin January 13th. "Ten Chimneys" is named for the estate Mr. Lunt and his wife, actress Lynn Fontanne, owned west of Milwaukee. Actress Carol Channing has been quoted as saying, "What the Vatican is to Catholics, 'Ten Chimneys' is to actors." Visit www.clevelandplayhouse.com for more information and to buy tickets.
