Holland Taylor Instagram – My father, C. Tracy Taylor. Philadelphia born and bred, a page torn from O’Hara, and a Philadelphia lawyer most certainly. He typically read Mencken and Thorstein Veblen and re-read all of Dickens in his last years. I remember him with pleasure for his wonderful wit, but always with sorrow too, as his interior life was so painful at times. Drink helped that, but ruined everything else. He sure had style, though- and, with my mother, a fabulous sense of humor.
