Another reason to mourn the loss of Paul Scofield. Asked to reprise the role of Salieri in the Broadway production of "Amadeus", the home-loving actor sent his regrets to Peter Shaffer:
I know you'll understand, Peter, but [the Broadway engagement] comes at the time of year I always go up and paint my shutters on the Island of Mull.Reflecting on Scofield's career, arts blogger Terry Teachout considers the difference between stage and screen:
It strikes me as both revealing and ironic that most Americans under the age of sixty--myself, alas, included--will remember Paul Scofield not as one of the greatest stage actors of the twentieth century but as the man who played Charles Van Doren's father in "Quiz Show".Not Thomas More?
