Holland Taylor Instagram - Yes, but listen- y’all have no idea...

Happy Birthday to my one and only. 
I’m grateful you were born,  @mssarahcatharinepaulson
Holland Taylor Instagram - Why, yes- that is CHANEL @chanelofficial I wore to COLBERT @colbertlateshow - and yes, indeed, @karlawelchstylist had everything to do with it. 
Nothing too good for @Stephenathome
Holland Taylor Instagram - Leslie and Sarah, in the works very early Emmy morning…
Holland Taylor Instagram - You’re welcome. 😎
Holland Taylor Instagram - After her sensational 50th birthday party at @ChateauMarmont - where Sarah was mobbed and hugged and kissed and danced with like crazy by a couple hundred nearest and dearest, long-time friends and new - a bunch of kids from her high school days - her best pal at eleven, movie stars and fellow cast members from the length of her 30 year career… one mother, two sisters, one partner, a couple of Moguls, writers, hair/make up geniuses, wardrobe doyennes from both costumes and fashion-all of us in a joyous crush- 
As the crowd thinned a bit in the later hours - the absolute banging DJ led us on a fabulous journey of 70’s music to the 90’s… and then, carried in like Cleopatra’s barge- a massive cake that every single person said was the greatest cake they had ever eaten in their life, arrived - Sarah glowed in the candle light and the rafters at @Chateau sighed with pleasure. 

AFTER all that, two days later, on her actual Birthday, Sarah and I went for a little dinner, just us, at the Bel Air, and as we enjoyed our cocktails, I marveled at her talents. 

As an actress she is proving to be a varied and mightily gifted artist, a delightful clown, and a profound guide through the human experience - but it is her gift for
Friendship that is the true marvel. And for nourishing and keeping all her relationships, tending to them, often at significant expense of time when she doesn’t have it, and lending emotional support when she is truly exhausted. Her generosity is legendary, like someone throwing money off the back of trains. 
But it is the depth of feeling in all her relationships- yes, with Winnie and Louise and Georgie, too - that is so moving to me. Sarah is a serious person. And I seriously love her.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Given the chance to work in an Amanda Peet created project, to work with Sandra Oh and Bob Balaban, Nana Mensah and (major crush) Jay Duplass~in a show about the modern academic world- To play a distinguished professor at the end of the line, a woman with no f*cks left to give … who could resist that? Not I! Tho’ this meant we would all spend the winter in Pittsburgh, during the worst months of the pandemic. We all huddled together and were lifted out of reality’s gloom in the joy of telling this rich story, daily feeling the transformation doing a creative deed with a common purpose brings. I will never think of all these people again without remembering that elevation is always in reach…if you reach.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Women are the majority of people in the United States. We are the #SuperMajority

Ahead of midterms, we are coming together across issue, identity, and geography- to VOTE - and show the country that the suits in Washington do not have the power to shape our democracy. We do.

Holland Taylor Instagram - I posted this about an hour ago, with a long text... I had started to write something very short- but it led me hither and yon, and before I knew it, I’d been pecking away on the phone well over an hour. Finally I proofed it, very laborious for me, I am so clumsy writing that way- and I hit share, and put the phone down and had to eat, I was starving! So I came back to check— and ... there’s no text! I can’t think what to make of it, and I feel sad and somehow chastised. Well, my mother was kind of private ... so there’s that. 
But.
Holland Taylor Instagram - She was already a superstar simmering with intelligence, strength and goodwill when I met her two years ago. 

If she wants it, I still wish for her to be Governor of Georgia ~ she will pull the tiller of the South towards the common good. After lifting GA and doing great things there, she will have had an enormous executive branch experience. Then President of the United States. Then the Supreme Court. The first woman Chief Justice. 

She is 47. We are a lucky nation to have her.
Holland Taylor Instagram - A good friend sent this image from a French newspaper, saying- “the  French don’t mess around.”
Holland Taylor Instagram - Why is it black and white pictures seem so full of information and allure, more than color…? Here Uber stylist and glamorous Madame X-ish @karlawelchstylist Welch snaps a FILM camera at... what, people? - a mirror? A night of pictures being taken of everyone there, as if there were a “there," there. @MsSarahCatharinePaulson and I standing in the middle of that particular there. Oscars, 2023.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Impossible expression of Birthday love from my one and only - Sarah.
Holland Taylor Instagram - #PerfectUnion
2019 and then some 
Happy New Beginnings to all. And to the country. 
Onward.
Holland Taylor Instagram - No caption needed.
Holland Taylor Instagram - What a Birthday for my darling, the eve before today’s opening of #Appropriate- the play’s Broadway debut, and @mssarahcatharinepaulson ‘s return after a busy ten year absence- and what an incandescent, thrilling return, fiery and brave- in a brilliant theatre masterwork by Brandon Jacobs Jenkins @_bjj__ 

And yes, of COURSE I’m partial-

But you know I’m right.
Holland Taylor Instagram - A glorious Governor Ann Richards atop her inaugural parade carriage, this day, thirty years ago. 
Let’s always remember what a leader we had in her. 
An American hero who was what she seemed- true, and fair- and fun. 

She believed ultimately we are always progressing, in the long view, surely. 
Keep the faith. 
Keep on.
Holland Taylor Instagram - My Mother, Virginia Davis Taylor, and us three children, who loved her and love her still. She is somewhere- very near.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Happy Birthday, Tim. 
My favorite raconteur, king, elf, guide, arbiter of taste, artist, singer of Billie Holiday- Portobello Rd crawler, voracious reader, gardener, lavish friend, the eye of a hawk to spot... everything. 
Love to you today, and thanks, too, for all your gifts to us...
Holland Taylor Instagram - My street as I evacuated last night. Had the winds been what they were a mere 12 hours before, we would have lost our entire canyonette. Grateful beyond words- horrified by catastrophic unimaginable loss of homes of several THOUSANDS of families.

Holland Taylor Instagram - Mood
Holland Taylor Instagram - Shrine, of sorts.

So worthy- of all good things,

Holland Taylor Instagram - Virginia Davis Taylor 

Happy Birthday~

You were a wonderful, mindful, glamorous, creative, witty, and curious person, full of private musings, which played across your face like the merest shadows of pale clouds. I could have known you better. As it is, I know you well enough to have you visit my mind and heart every day… certainly when I hear a great joke, or see something really beautiful that makes me want to see your face when you saw it. We shared a lot of mutual enjoyment, and truly, what more is there? Your other children, Pat and Pam, both emailed this morning about another picture of you well all loved~ a happy moment when you glowed with delight. Wish you could see ANN. she would lift you even higher! And you’d see you inspired me to create something, as you did all your life. 

You are missed, and loved still.

Your third and (forever youngest) daughter,

Holland
Holland Taylor Instagram - Hillary arranged the whole night. Having seen it in DC, she knew. They brought Meryl and Don. Meryl told me, he kept saying, this is all so true to her, so accurate. “He just roared at the Arkansas joke…”

They were so interested in the process.

I didn’t know they were coming, as Kevin really protects me from distraction. He greeted me as I stepped off the stage and said, “Don’t kick your shoes off, you’re coming with me,” and swept me into the back corridors of Lincoln Center until we finally arrived at a door opening into large reception room with the Clintons, Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly and… MERYL STREEP! I was speechless, but not for long.

The President was still teary-eyed and Hillary just beamed at the surprise event she had made. Meryl seemed genuinely excited and told me how the President kept nudging her and saying. “This is so accurate!” and guffawed at the Arkansas joke.

I was so thrilled to talk with them all as they seemed avidly interested in the whole process of making the show. It was wonderful to look into Gabby Giffords’s eyes and see the sparkling perfect presence there, and to meet astronaut Mark Kelly, whom I now support politically, of course. These pictures were all snapped on my phone by my dresser Barry Doss, but they had the great photog Brigitte Lacombe at that event for official coverage, so I sometimes see her shots still out there.

What a night. The reception was long, and as Kevin led me out, he said, ”You have a few more people here…” and lo and behold, all the Kennedy Center ushers awaited in their own reception area! What an unbelievable night!!! And yep, of course, I had a matinée the next morning…

Holland Taylor Instagram - If you’re playing Ann Richards, this guy in your corner is a genuine thrill! @lyle_lovett. Here seen backstage at @zachtheatre in Austin with his bride April Kimble. Lyle modestly thought that we played  his “She makes Me Feel Good” as the second act began as a nod to him in the audience!! No, Lyle, your music is hard wired permanently into our production of ANN.  That song’s one of Ann’s favorites.
Holland Taylor Instagram - This just slays-

Am slain. 

Period.

Holland Taylor Instagram - What, when, where.

Just the facts, Ma’am.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Remembering ANN's wildfire run of  at the Kenney Center~ we had this dazzling visitor backstage! She thrilled all of us with her approval and delight. Washington was our last stop before Broadway (after Galveston, San Antonio, Austin, and Chicago.) ANN was a joyful experience in Washington, and non-partisan, for a change, in that city! Governor Richards brought out the best in people, crowds, audiences, and one-on-one. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton had real friendships with her since earliest days. When ANN played Lincoln Center, the following season, Hillary would bring Bill along with her to see it again… What more imprimatur could the play get!
Holland Taylor Instagram - Sarah’s heart.
Holland Taylor Instagram - I speak often of my great teacher, Stella Adler, how her technique guides me, indeed, inspires me still. Mark Ruffalo studied with her (De Niro was her student, as was Marlon Brando, who said she was the greatest teacher of acting). The Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles teaches her technique-- all the Academy's principal teachers studied directly with Stella and have her course manuals. Of course, all schools across the country are struggling in the pandemic, and while the Academy is functioning virtually, survival is very challenging. @markruffalo has stepped up and is putting on a live virtual table read of a NEW Kenneth Lonergan play today as a benefit to help the @stellaadleracademy make it to the other side. Stella Adler's teachings have been thriving in LA since the late 70's when Stella began dividing her time between NY and LA.  Students for more than 60 years have been nourished and guided by the Stella Adler philosophy, her practical and detailed approach to acting, the use of the imagination, and her celebrated methods of script analysis. I have (and read!) my own Stella notes from forty years ago! This benefit reading, today at 7pm eastern time, would be a privilege to attend- and how great to enjoy it and support Stella’s long line of teaching at the same time. Think of all the fledgling Ruffalos and Brando’s and DeNiros out there waiting to grow up and be great. They will need guidance and teaching of the best quality! Link to benefit in bio!

Holland Taylor Instagram - I’m seeing this picture all over … it’s from ANN’s Opening Night, when Covid regulations led me to joyfully greet the patrons and friends after the show from the Courtyard balcony above. Is there someone with me, ever so kindly, in this view..? @PasadenaPlayhouse #ANN #visitation
Holland Taylor Instagram - But,  Oh! - the ABUNDANCE!!! @mssarahcatharinepaulson
Holland Taylor Instagram - I loved this moment from a student matinee at Lincoln Center’s production of ANN. Along with a scattering of high school teachers, there were over a thousand kids from maybe 14 up, and they were, of course, SO different in response from the sophisticated NY audience I had gotten used to. Most had never been to a Broadway show, or even a play at all~ except school stuff. There were things they couldn’t be expected to get… but their silence was unnerving. When the Governor's office entered from way upstage and rolled forward 35 feet (only at Lincoln Center!) there was one awe stricken " wow.” But oh , my~ when the show ended, they all went WOW, figuratively speaking, and magically, ANN had had a similar effect to what the woman herself had with people young and old, city or country, brilliant or garden variety… she was someone real… she saw you.  She heard you.  She cared what you thought.  She was profoundly fair. She had plenty of flaws and was supremely lovable.  This  young man made ME feel like the play had touched his life in a way that opened his heart~  as he did mine in this moment.
Holland Taylor Instagram - She would be 90 today. 

Much missed, never forgotten, always loved- 
Ann Richards. 

A true American hero.
Holland Taylor Instagram - A sweet sorrow we all know...and share.

Holland Taylor Instagram - My Mother, Virginia Davis Taylor, and her two first daughters, Pamela and Patricia, shown here before I was born, and yes— they are all in the same dress, made by my mother, only one of whose hobbies was sewing. She was a painter... that practice was essential to her, well beyond hobby-time. This photo from the glorious days of black and white film printed on silver paper with a million shades of gray.

Holland Taylor Instagram - Sam Fragoso’s podcast is celebrating its 5th anniversary-! If you don’t know @talkeasypod- thank me later. 
First of all, his interview with me left me wide eyed... How could he have researched such that he was able to weave effortlessly through the decades, ask the deepest questions, offer the boldest insights with  the quiet poise of a sage - and give value to work I had tho’t went unnoticed. And he’s in his twenties? Just a remarkable soul, and master of intriguing, wanderlust conversation. 

He’s marked the day with this sampler. 
You’re welcome.

Holland Taylor Instagram - Why, yes, thank you- I’d be delighted to play the great Nancy Pelosi. #ShePersisted
Holland Taylor Instagram - So thrilled to see ANN’s new billboard in my old West Hollywood nabe, atop the fine old building that houses Revolver, a popular bar right across the street from Flaming Saddles. Governor #Desantis should see this play about another Governor for possible enlightenment. The play does actually have the word ‘gay’ in it, but don’t worry- it only occurs once. 
Governor Richards was profoundly fair minded and her government appointments were built on a foundation of inclusion. She is admired to this day- even more beloved in memory.  We didn’t know how good we had it.

Holland Taylor Instagram - The Kennedy Center Ushers for the Eisenhower Theatre, specifically the Thursday night gang, were a wonderful group who responded so incredibly to ANN during our previews there, speaking their mind to my director Ben Klein, that I became determined to continue to hear from them.

The ushers generally had no access to the innards of the artist’s side of the theatre or the fabled Green room, which was a huge chandelier and couch filled haven where the great and garden variety folks came after the performance. I pled the case with KC management that, since I was the only performer, I felt they should allow the ushers to visit after the show along with other friends if I wanted that.  So, permission was granted, and for the first time, the “Redcoats,” as I called them, started appearing after the show — three one night, eight another — during the month ANN played there. Our last Saturday night happened to be my birthday, and the gang just floored me by arranging on their own for champagne and a birthday cake to celebrate, and ALL of them (a big group of about 30), it seemed, in attendance. I never will forget it. 

But nothing prepared me for the night on Broadway, more than a year later, when about 35 of them appeared IN THEIR Kennedy Center REDCOATS at a performance of “their” ANN at Lincoln Center. They had come up to NYC in a caravan of buses, trains, cars, and airplanes. They made an adventure of it and I consider it the greatest honor I’ve ever been given. They were rewarded, too, in a way — at the performance they attended were also President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, Gabby Giffords, and Mark Kelly. Quite a night!

Holland Taylor Instagram - Of all the times I’ve moved in my life, this was the easiest, most professional, and even FUN!  @PeiceofCakeMoving  is the best moving company, I’ll swear to it. I have no involvement with the company and I’m not being rewarded in any way for posting about them. 
They have a great system designed and their crews are so good! None better than Darco and Rada, who were gentle strongmen and worked quickly AND carefully. I enjoyed their amazing efforts. If you’re a New Yorker changing digs, remember @pieceofcakemoving. The name sez it all.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Virginia Davis Taylor. No photo tops this detail from my mother’s own self portrait. 
For all this artistry, I’d give anything to have a bunch of  every day videos of her on my phone... as children today can have of their parents, friends, families and pets. I wish I could hear my mother’s voice. I hope some how she knows how we three kids loved her and admired and cared about her. She left instructions that her ashes be scattered in the ocean... because she wanted to “go everywhere.”
So I guess we know where we can find her. 
RIP
Holland Taylor Instagram - Happy 103rd Birthday to my mother, Virgina Davis Taylor. 
At a loss for words, thinking of you at this moment of my life. You are missed, you were loved. You are loved, still. And- “Words fail,” as you often remarked. Sailing on-!
Holland Taylor Instagram - This feels like a dream in a way... There is something so right about this play at THIS TIME, being broadcast by our FREE public TV channels..on every TV set in the country. I can't help but feel Ann Richards herself would be pleased that PBS is where anyone and everyone can find her... with her timeless spirit, her good will, her wit, her warmth~ her sense of what is right, what is fair. She speaks exactly to us in this moment. A woman for all seasons. And so damb funny...
Holland Taylor Instagram - This is the first ANN set, for the premiere at the  Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston, Texas, in May, 2010. It was designed by Michael Fagin. I hired him based on pictures I saw of gorgeous sets he had done for Light in the Piazza, for the Philadelphia Theatre Company. Took a chance and boy, was I right. He has designed and supervised set installation of every run of ANN in eight theatres, including the old Shubert in Chicago, the Kennedy Center in DC, the Vivian Beaumont at New York’s Lincoln Center. Lighting in this shot is by designer Matthew Richards. I love being in this world.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Coming upon this elusive building is typical of this beautiful city where I seem to gasp at every turn.

Holland Taylor Instagram - The One ANN Only is a marvelous collection of classic and clever one-liners from the outspoken feminist Ann Richards, the forty-fifth governor of Texas. It is also the greatest collection of photographs of Ann you could ever hope to find in one place. I was especially thrilled to see so many from Ave Bonar, who was Ann’s official photographer when governor, and also a much admired poet and photojournalist with the truth telling black and white work for which she is famous. Margaret Justus has put this book together - she was one of Ann’s press secretaries and has a real sense of what was essentially *Ann*. (Both Margaret and Ann were really helpful sources for me as my research on Richards began, early in 2007.)

This book is a must have for anyone who cares about the former Governor and a perfect introduction for anyone wanting a feel of who she really was. Her impact on Texas and, really, the whole country can’t be overestimated. Nor can one measure what she means, still, to women. Her presence in the American air is forever.

I was especially thrilled to see so many from Ave Bonar, who was Ann’s official photographer when governor, and also a much admired poet and photojournalist with the truth telling black and white work for which she is famous. Margaret Justus has put this book together - she was one of Ann’s press secretaries and has a real sense of what was essentially *Ann*. (Both Margaret and Ann were really helpful sources for me as my research on Richards began, early in 2007.)

This book is a must have for anyone who cares about the former Governor and a perfect introduction for anyone wanting a feel of who she really was. Her impact on Texas and, really, the whole country can’t be overestimated. Nor can one measure what she means, still, to women. Her presence in the American air is forever.

Holland Taylor Instagram - At a great LA fund raiser yesterday for Beto! Thanks to generous @JamesCostos and @MichaelSmithinc with the @HumanRightsCampaign ~ what a lively gathering, and Beto in top form!

I marveled at his eloquent, effortless, fresh speech~ though obviously he has to say essentially the same thing wherever he goes. It flows so easily because he just tells the truth. He doesn’t have to remember what he said or concoct anything or spin or be careful not to self contradict…That’s the thing about the truth. No angles.

He’s not playing. 
He’s the real deal. 

He could win this.
Holland Taylor Instagram - Button from back in the day—
Which I could certainly wear now, as I’m keenly feeling how rich the experience of playing her was. But she needn’t be missed- she is somewhere »…very near. »
Holland Taylor Instagram - What a delight that @PEOPLE has honored my Emmy nomination for a wonderful role on @themorningshow with this cool spread. Lucky

Holland Taylor Instagram - This is deeply personal for me. Today’s SCOTUS hearing is about freedom and justice. Today’s hearing is about our rights, our health care, our ability to control our bodies, racial justice and so much more. It’s about our future. This vacant seat belongs to the people. This hearing shouldn’t be happening until 2021. Be inspired by @tiffanyalfonseca and #AllRise alongside @PPact and make sure our senators hear our voices, loud and clear. Text SCOTUS to 22422 to call your senator!

Holland Taylor Instagram - Virginia Davis Taylor. Artist and mother of three. Her self portrait. Her three girls and grandchildren think of her always and miss her- especially when they would love to share their happy times and accomplishments with her. Her smile, her fine values, her sense of humor- are alive in our memories.
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.

Holland Taylor - 51.9K Likes - After her sensational 50th birthday party at @ChateauMarmont - where Sarah was mobbed and hugged and kissed and danced with like crazy by a couple hundred nearest and dearest, long-time friends and new - a bunch of kids from her high school days - her best pal at eleven, movie stars and fellow cast members from the length of her 30 year career… one mother, two sisters, one partner, a couple of Moguls, writers, hair/make up geniuses, wardrobe doyennes from both costumes and fashion-all of us in a joyous crush- 
As the crowd thinned a bit in the later hours - the absolute banging DJ led us on a fabulous journey of 70’s music to the 90’s… and then, carried in like Cleopatra’s barge- a massive cake that every single person said was the greatest cake they had ever eaten in their life, arrived - Sarah glowed in the candle light and the rafters at @Chateau sighed with pleasure. 

AFTER all that, two days later, on her actual Birthday, Sarah and I went for a little dinner, just us, at the Bel Air, and as we enjoyed our cocktails, I marveled at her talents. 

As an actress she is proving to be a varied and mightily gifted artist, a delightful clown, and a profound guide through the human experience - but it is her gift for
Friendship that is the true marvel. And for nourishing and keeping all her relationships, tending to them, often at significant expense of time when she doesn’t have it, and lending emotional support when she is truly exhausted. Her generosity is legendary, like someone throwing money off the back of trains. 
But it is the depth of feeling in all her relationships- yes, with Winnie and Louise and Georgie, too - that is so moving to me. Sarah is a serious person. And I seriously love her.

Not I! Tho’ this meant we would all spend the winter in Pittsburgh, during the worst months of the pandemic. We all huddled together and were lifted out of reality’s gloom in the joy of telling this rich story, daily feeling the transformation doing a creative deed with a common purpose brings. I will never think of all these people again without remembering that elevation is always in reach…if you reach.

I can’t think what to make of it, and I feel sad and somehow chastised. Well, my mother was kind of private ... so there’s that.

If she wants it, I still wish for her to be Governor of Georgia ~ she will pull the tiller of the South towards the common good. After lifting GA and doing great things there, she will have had an enormous executive branch experience. Then President of the United States. Then the Supreme Court. The first woman Chief Justice. 

She is 47. We are a lucky nation to have her.

Happy Birthday~

You were a wonderful, mindful, glamorous, creative, witty, and curious person, full of private musings, which played across your face like the merest shadows of pale clouds. I could have known you better. As it is, I know you well enough to have you visit my mind and heart every day… certainly when I hear a great joke, or see something really beautiful that makes me want to see your face when you saw it. We shared a lot of mutual enjoyment, and truly, what more is there? Your other children, Pat and Pam, both emailed this morning about another picture of you well all loved~ a happy moment when you glowed with delight. Wish you could see ANN. she would lift you even higher! And you’d see you inspired me to create something, as you did all your life. 

You are missed, and loved still.

Your third and (forever youngest) daughter,

Holland Taylor - 17.3K Likes - Hillary arranged the whole night. Having seen it in DC, she knew. They brought Meryl and Don. Meryl told me, he kept saying, this is all so true to her, so accurate. “He just roared at the Arkansas joke…”

They were so interested in the process.

I didn’t know they were coming, as Kevin really protects me from distraction. He greeted me as I stepped off the stage and said, “Don’t kick your shoes off, you’re coming with me,” and swept me into the back corridors of Lincoln Center until we finally arrived at a door opening into large reception room with the Clintons, Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly and… MERYL STREEP! I was speechless, but not for long.

The President was still teary-eyed and Hillary just beamed at the surprise event she had made. Meryl seemed genuinely excited and told me how the President kept nudging her and saying. “This is so accurate!” and guffawed at the Arkansas joke.

I was so thrilled to talk with them all as they seemed avidly interested in the whole process of making the show. It was wonderful to look into Gabby Giffords’s eyes and see the sparkling perfect presence there, and to meet astronaut Mark Kelly, whom I now support politically, of course. These pictures were all snapped on my phone by my dresser Barry Doss, but they had the great photog Brigitte Lacombe at that event for official coverage, so I sometimes see her shots still out there.

What a night. The reception was long, and as Kevin led me out, he said, ”You have a few more people here…” and lo and behold, all the Kennedy Center ushers awaited in their own reception area! What an unbelievable night!!! And yep, of course, I had a matinée the next morning…

They were so interested in the process.

I didn’t know they were coming, as Kevin really protects me from distraction. He greeted me as I stepped off the stage and said, “Don’t kick your shoes off, you’re coming with me,” and swept me into the back corridors of Lincoln Center until we finally arrived at a door opening into large reception room with the Clintons, Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly and… MERYL STREEP! I was speechless, but not for long.

The President was still teary-eyed and Hillary just beamed at the surprise event she had made. Meryl seemed genuinely excited and told me how the President kept nudging her and saying. “This is so accurate!” and guffawed at the Arkansas joke.

I was so thrilled to talk with them all as they seemed avidly interested in the whole process of making the show. It was wonderful to look into Gabby Giffords’s eyes and see the sparkling perfect presence there, and to meet astronaut Mark Kelly, whom I now support politically, of course. These pictures were all snapped on my phone by my dresser Barry Doss, but they had the great photog Brigitte Lacombe at that event for official coverage, so I sometimes see her shots still out there.

What a night. The reception was long, and as Kevin led me out, he said, ”You have a few more people here…” and lo and behold, all the Kennedy Center ushers awaited in their own reception area! What an unbelievable night!!! And yep, of course, I had a matinée the next morning…

Lyle modestly thought that we played  his “She makes Me Feel Good” as the second act began as a nod to him in the audience!! No, Lyle, your music is hard wired permanently into our production of ANN.  That song’s one of Ann’s favorites.

Holland Taylor - 15.3K Likes - Remembering ANN's wildfire run of  at the Kenney Center~ we had this dazzling visitor backstage! She thrilled all of us with her approval and delight. Washington was our last stop before Broadway (after Galveston, San Antonio, Austin, and Chicago.) ANN was a joyful experience in Washington, and non-partisan, for a change, in that city! Governor Richards brought out the best in people, crowds, audiences, and one-on-one. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton had real friendships with her since earliest days. When ANN played Lincoln Center, the following season, Hillary would bring Bill along with her to see it again… What more imprimatur could the play get!

Holland Taylor - 14.6K Likes - I speak often of my great teacher, Stella Adler, how her technique guides me, indeed, inspires me still. Mark Ruffalo studied with her (De Niro was her student, as was Marlon Brando, who said she was the greatest teacher of acting). The Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles teaches her technique-- all the Academy's principal teachers studied directly with Stella and have her course manuals. Of course, all schools across the country are struggling in the pandemic, and while the Academy is functioning virtually, survival is very challenging. @markruffalo has stepped up and is putting on a live virtual table read of a NEW Kenneth Lonergan play today as a benefit to help the @stellaadleracademy make it to the other side. Stella Adler's teachings have been thriving in LA since the late 70's when Stella began dividing her time between NY and LA.  Students for more than 60 years have been nourished and guided by the Stella Adler philosophy, her practical and detailed approach to acting, the use of the imagination, and her celebrated methods of script analysis. I have (and read!) my own Stella notes from forty years ago! This benefit reading, today at 7pm eastern time, would be a privilege to attend- and how great to enjoy it and support Stella’s long line of teaching at the same time. Think of all the fledgling Ruffalos and Brando’s and DeNiros out there waiting to grow up and be great. They will need guidance and teaching of the best quality! Link to benefit in bio!

Along with a scattering of high school teachers, there were over a thousand kids from maybe 14 up, and they were, of course, SO different in response from the sophisticated NY audience I had gotten used to. Most had never been to a Broadway show, or even a play at all~ except school stuff. There were things they couldn’t be expected to get… but their silence was unnerving. When the Governor's office entered from way upstage and rolled forward 35 feet (only at Lincoln Center!) there was one awe stricken " wow.” But oh , my~ when the show ended, they all went WOW, figuratively speaking, and magically, ANN had had a similar effect to what the woman herself had with people young and old, city or country, brilliant or garden variety… she was someone real… she saw you.  She heard you.  She cared what you thought.  She was profoundly fair. She had plenty of flaws and was supremely lovable.  This  young man made ME feel like the play had touched his life in a way that opened his heart~  as he did mine in this moment.

And he’s in his twenties? Just a remarkable soul, and master of intriguing, wanderlust conversation. 

He’s marked the day with this sampler.

Governor #Desantis should see this play about another Governor for possible enlightenment. The play does actually have the word ‘gay’ in it, but don’t worry- it only occurs once. 
Governor Richards was profoundly fair minded and her government appointments were built on a foundation of inclusion. She is admired to this day- even more beloved in memory.  We didn’t know how good we had it.

Holland Taylor - 10.4K Likes - The Kennedy Center Ushers for the Eisenhower Theatre, specifically the Thursday night gang, were a wonderful group who responded so incredibly to ANN during our previews there, speaking their mind to my director Ben Klein, that I became determined to continue to hear from them.

The ushers generally had no access to the innards of the artist’s side of the theatre or the fabled Green room, which was a huge chandelier and couch filled haven where the great and garden variety folks came after the performance. I pled the case with KC management that, since I was the only performer, I felt they should allow the ushers to visit after the show along with other friends if I wanted that.  So, permission was granted, and for the first time, the “Redcoats,” as I called them, started appearing after the show — three one night, eight another — during the month ANN played there. Our last Saturday night happened to be my birthday, and the gang just floored me by arranging on their own for champagne and a birthday cake to celebrate, and ALL of them (a big group of about 30), it seemed, in attendance. I never will forget it. 

But nothing prepared me for the night on Broadway, more than a year later, when about 35 of them appeared IN THEIR Kennedy Center REDCOATS at a performance of “their” ANN at Lincoln Center. They had come up to NYC in a caravan of buses, trains, cars, and airplanes. They made an adventure of it and I consider it the greatest honor I’ve ever been given. They were rewarded, too, in a way — at the performance they attended were also President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, Gabby Giffords, and Mark Kelly. Quite a night!

They were rewarded, too, in a way — at the performance they attended were also President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, Gabby Giffords, and Mark Kelly. Quite a night!

Holland Taylor - 10.4K Likes - The Kennedy Center Ushers for the Eisenhower Theatre, specifically the Thursday night gang, were a wonderful group who responded so incredibly to ANN during our previews there, speaking their mind to my director Ben Klein, that I became determined to continue to hear from them.

The ushers generally had no access to the innards of the artist’s side of the theatre or the fabled Green room, which was a huge chandelier and couch filled haven where the great and garden variety folks came after the performance. I pled the case with KC management that, since I was the only performer, I felt they should allow the ushers to visit after the show along with other friends if I wanted that.  So, permission was granted, and for the first time, the “Redcoats,” as I called them, started appearing after the show — three one night, eight another — during the month ANN played there. Our last Saturday night happened to be my birthday, and the gang just floored me by arranging on their own for champagne and a birthday cake to celebrate, and ALL of them (a big group of about 30), it seemed, in attendance. I never will forget it.

Holland Taylor - 9.6K Likes - Of all the times I’ve moved in my life, this was the easiest, most professional, and even FUN!  @PeiceofCakeMoving  is the best moving company, I’ll swear to it. I have no involvement with the company and I’m not being rewarded in any way for posting about them. 
They have a great system designed and their crews are so good! None better than Darco and Rada, who were gentle strongmen and worked quickly AND carefully. I enjoyed their amazing efforts. If you’re a New Yorker changing digs, remember @pieceofcakemoving. The name sez it all.

For all this artistry, I’d give anything to have a bunch of  every day videos of her on my phone... as children today can have of their parents, friends, families and pets. I wish I could hear my mother’s voice. I hope some how she knows how we three kids loved her and admired and cared about her. She left instructions that her ashes be scattered in the ocean... because she wanted to “go everywhere.”
So I guess we know where we can find her. 
RIP

There is something so right about this play at THIS TIME, being broadcast by our FREE public TV channels..on every TV set in the country. I can't help but feel Ann Richards herself would be pleased that PBS is where anyone and everyone can find her... with her timeless spirit, her good will, her wit, her warmth~ her sense of what is right, what is fair. She speaks exactly to us in this moment. A woman for all seasons. And so damb funny...

Holland Taylor - 8.7K Likes - This is the first ANN set, for the premiere at the  Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston, Texas, in May, 2010. It was designed by Michael Fagin. I hired him based on pictures I saw of gorgeous sets he had done for Light in the Piazza, for the Philadelphia Theatre Company. Took a chance and boy, was I right. He has designed and supervised set installation of every run of ANN in eight theatres, including the old Shubert in Chicago, the Kennedy Center in DC, the Vivian Beaumont at New York’s Lincoln Center. Lighting in this shot is by designer Matthew Richards. I love being in this world.

Holland Taylor - 7.9K Likes - The One ANN Only is a marvelous collection of classic and clever one-liners from the outspoken feminist Ann Richards, the forty-fifth governor of Texas. It is also the greatest collection of photographs of Ann you could ever hope to find in one place. I was especially thrilled to see so many from Ave Bonar, who was Ann’s official photographer when governor, and also a much admired poet and photojournalist with the truth telling black and white work for which she is famous. Margaret Justus has put this book together - she was one of Ann’s press secretaries and has a real sense of what was essentially *Ann*. (Both Margaret and Ann were really helpful sources for me as my research on Richards began, early in 2007.)

This book is a must have for anyone who cares about the former Governor and a perfect introduction for anyone wanting a feel of who she really was. Her impact on Texas and, really, the whole country can’t be overestimated. Nor can one measure what she means, still, to women. Her presence in the American air is forever.

I marveled at his eloquent, effortless, fresh speech~ though obviously he has to say essentially the same thing wherever he goes. It flows so easily because he just tells the truth. He doesn’t have to remember what he said or concoct anything or spin or be careful not to self contradict…That’s the thing about the truth. No angles.

He’s not playing. 
He’s the real deal. 

He could win this.

The timing couldn’t be more sweet, as “N/A” @natheplay – enters the final two weeks of its limited engagement at Lincoln Center @LCTheater. (At the Mitzy.) No play more timely! And a great time, too!

Holland Taylor - 5.6K Likes - This is deeply personal for me. Today’s SCOTUS hearing is about freedom and justice. Today’s hearing is about our rights, our health care, our ability to control our bodies, racial justice and so much more. It’s about our future. This vacant seat belongs to the people. This hearing shouldn’t be happening until 2021. Be inspired by @tiffanyalfonseca and #AllRise alongside @PPact and make sure our senators hear our voices, loud and clear. Text SCOTUS to 22422 to call your senator!

Holland Taylor - 5.5K Likes - Virginia Davis Taylor. Artist and mother of three. Her self portrait. Her three girls and grandchildren think of her always and miss her- especially when they would love to share their happy times and accomplishments with her. Her smile, her fine values, her sense of humor- are alive in our memories.

Holland Taylor - 5.3K Likes - 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.

Holland Taylor - 5.2K Likes - #TBT Throwing WAY back. 31 years. My #Hirschfeld !!!
Al Hirschfeld drew me in person in his studio- a rarity, and beyond exciting. Enid Nemy was a lovely person who covered theatre in a @NYTimes Friday column, I think. This was just the greatest honor. (Three “Nina”s.
Can’t complain.)
