And Lola went to see him in Drop Dead Perfect last week. I don't think they want to do annual reunions, but I also think they've moved past 40-year-old drama at this point.

One of the slightly scandalous aspects of this dissertation was that Wharton claimed to not only spend a lot of time with the Ridiculous Theatrical group, but he also had brief affairs with several, and used some of the pillow talk as research.<br /><br />Seeing how prolific and respected Quinton has become, it's ironic to note that it was reported that he was greatly resented by Ludlam's regular actors (Lola Pashalinski, Black-Eyed Susan, Bill Vehr, etc.) when Ludlam brought him into the group. Ludlam was such a guru, it seems that the other actors felt betrayed by being replaced by someone they saw as a mere trick usurping their art.<br /><br />Bravo to Quinton for carrying on Ludlam's ethos.Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860208585189661470noreply@blogger.com
