'Ah, life was exciting in the seventies'

York Times obituary) Oct. 25, 2001: George Feyer, a gifted pianist and delightfully versatile entertainer who charmed Manhattan cafe society at the Carlyle, Stanhope and Waldorf-Astoria hotels for three decades, died on Sunday at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan. He was 92 and lived in Manhattan. Barefoot Mailman Run Since I'm writing about the Juno Ranch and the Jupiter Beach Hilton, it calls to mind the annual "Barefoot Mailman Run," a two-mile run from the Hilton along the beach to the Juno Ranch, where someone would stamp the envelop you carried, and then back to the Hilton. The race was an event to raise money for Special Olympics. Each year, whoever the stars were appearing at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theatre would show up as honorary starters. High point of the event was the clever Barefoot Mailman shirts designed by local artist Patti Tuning Hartig and featuring a quirky looking pelican as a mailman. ... We hit our high point with 200 runners. The Hilton furnished hotdogs and cokes after the event. So, from Valentine's Day memories to life in a much smaller Jupiter/Tequesta lifestyle ... that was back in the seventies and early eighties. Well now, this is my valentine to Jupiter Courier Newsweekly readers ... a peek back at what really used to be. (TCPalm)

An Actress and an Agent: 'What Could Be a Better Match?'

Coney Island, where they rode the Cyclone (twice) and kissed atop the Wonder Wheel. The next night, he escorted her to Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle and crooned “I Only Have Eyes for You” so softly that only she could hear. Afterward, he kissed her in the cab before dropping her at her apartment. “I got out of the car and was like, yep, I’m done. Sign me up. I’m good.” They saw each other almost every day after that, dancing until 4 a.m. at a Tony Awards party and hiking up a volcano during a vacation in St. Lucia. When she and a friend attended “Queen of the Night,” an immersive theater piece in the basement of the Paramount Hotel, a cast member handed her a card and said, “You’re in love.” She opened it to find a poem written by Mr. Tantleff. “They both called me after the first date and after the second, but pretty soon the check-ins stopped, and I knew it was golden,” Mr. Herdlicka said. “They didn’t need affirmation from me.” In October, Ms. Swindal performed “I’ll Hold Your Hand in the Rain,” a song she had composed for Mr. Tantleff as part of “Play to Win,” her solo show at 54 Below, in which she recalled the influence of her grandfather, Mr. Steinbrenner. Some of the lyrics: I’ll be your shelter I’ll stand by your side I’ll wipe away tears that you won’t have to hide p class="p-b... (New York Times)
