Remember, the choices for celebrity quotes were: John Lithgow, Kristin Chenoweth, Brooke Shields, L. Ron Hubbard, and Gray Miller (well known B5Media Entertainment blogger, dontcha know).

At the Tony Awards last night several A-List Broadway (and TV and Film) personalities if they had any advice for Katie Holmes in her upcoming role in the straight-play revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.

Remember back in the day?

OK, there’s a reason I do a performing arts blog and not a celebrity blog.
I read things like this. No, don’t click it, I’ll save you the trouble: it’s an article about how Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes went to a show on Broadway. Just like thousands, millions of other people.

She plays La Marquise de Merteuil, a scheming and conniving woman who plays with peoples affections and lives for her own amusements.
