Subject: PS: James Mitchell has been hugely important to American dance and theatre, and yet has been incredibly humble..when the best of the best..the most important figures in these arts have complimented him repeatedly, he plays it down and says he's always played a supportive role. He's not Palmer Cortlandt..he's quite humble in real life. That's amazing...particularly these days when so many entertainers tend to believe their own publicity. SORAS

Subject: He's one of the best actors that ever appeared on AMC. He's also a charming man. I remember him being interviewed on the 30th Anniversary Show, and he was funny, unassuming and very nice. His co-stars all claimed to love him, and I could see why. I'll never forget his scene, years ago, with Daisy and the Dobermains. He really played Palmer Cortlandt to the hilt! Understatement

Subject: Wow! I didn't know James was a dancer, and such an accomplished one. Thanks for the background information. I too began watching in 1977ish when Nina was diabetic but didn't know, Daisy was her friend[mother], and Palmer was doing everything he could to keep her from Cliff...ahhh, those were the days, of storytelling!

Subject: I've told this story before, but I MET him when he asked me directions inside a department store. I then blathered like an idiot for about 5 minutes...he was charming, warm and totally tolerant of this fan. I was a huge ballet fan and told him that ''Fall River Trilogy'' was my fav and his whole face lit up. I asked my friends if I made an fool of myself, and they say I HAD, but that he had looked pleased. What a nice (and handsome) man. eom/Kate
