Broadway and Film Debut 1960

Hi Jane, I love the 3 cover stories Life magazine did on you…this is a very special story showing you at your start and how much you respect your father. “Tall Story” is a perfect example that you had a wonderful future in films. I just saw “12 Angry Men” with your dad for the first time and was spellbound at how Henry held the cast together so effortlessly. thanks, Sam.

I am so loving your blog. I thought I’d comment here, in the archives, since I’ve just discovered these older entries/photos. You have written about your father. About missing him through this experience. I love the way you write about him, and how much you are connecting with him now. And these old photos are so sweet. They way you look at him, and the way he looks at you… there is such pride and adoration on both sides. Perhaps the years ahead strained your relationship but certainly underlying is something so sweet that you seem to be touching now. I wonder if you would be interested in speaking with my friend John Edward, who lives in NY. Do you know John? Look him up. He taps into the other side. Very powerfully. Perhaps you are having your own communication with your dad now. I’m certain he is in the theatre every night. I’m also certain that you know that. Regardless, it is lovely getting small tastes of your thoughts of him during this process, and then to see these photos that in some way capture something that is happening now – the two of you, walking the streets of NY, and appreciating each other. I look so forward to being there in a few weeks, and getting caught up in the electricity of this show. Congratulations!

Wow … what great pictures of you and your uber-charismatic father. I found your blog while reading an article about the passing of Natasha Richardson. We would not agree on politics, Jane, but I have always loved you as an actress, and I adore your father in all his movies. My favorite is The Lady Eve, but I will watch him in anything. I think your brother Peter and niece Bridget are excellent actors as well. I am going to trot myself over to my Netflix queue and put some of your movies in the lineup. God bless.

Great pics Jane, I haven’t gone to this section of your website before. I think that I have read every book there has been on you and your family (good and bad), but I do love your book and Peter’s best. I think because both books don’t pull any punches, ( a bit like This Life by Sidney Poitier), they don’t make any excuses, and tell it like it is. Keep on acting please. We missed you when you weren’t making movies, though through the magic of film, we can always watch repeats of old ones. You and Mr Redford really should do another movie together, I can think of a lot of scenarios for you two! Cheers from Downunder.

These are WONDERFUL photographs! You look so much like your dad! It’s remarkable! I love the way you two look at each other. I see so much love there! I’ve been going through the different categories on your website, and reading the comments, and enjoying the photos! Thank you for sharing these pics. Your dad was so handsome and had a certain presence about him even in these pictures. You are so young and lovely in these pictures with a certain innocence in your appearance!

I have a question: Why is The Dollmaker not listed under your acting where your list of movies are? It is one of my favorite movies of all time and I can’t seem to find it even when I ran a search.
