"Mandy was perfect. He's an incredibly flexible actor, and it just so happens that he is an incredible singer. So as it worked out, we had two great musical actors." "They sent me a script through overnight mail," recalls Patinkin. "I read it and loved it, so I said, 'I'll be there.' I literally took the job on blind faith. I found that, as far as I'm concerned, working with the Muppets is a hundred thousand times better than working with real people. It is the best time I've ever had on a movie, and I'm not exaggerating.

Here is the following idea that I would like to put forth, however ..... it is NOT up for discussion, you may either participate or not. So this year, here is the idea: I will prepare a Mandy Fan Scrapbook filled with pages from all of us! Your page can include anything you want to say to Mandy... info about yourself, your favorite Mandy moments, pictures, momentous, copies of your organ donation cards or license with donor dot AND combined with this, I think it would be nice if we made contributions to his favorite charities and mention on your pages which charity (and why if appropriate ). I think Mandy would love to hear from his fans and appreciate contributions to his favorite charities !! You may make your page as simple or as * over the top * as you like, you could use stickers, die cuts, make theme pages, just use your imagination. If you cannot find the time to make a page but would like to participate, just put your things in an envelope and send them, and I will prepare them for you, I have all the supplies. Use a standard piece of paper or card stock Put what ever you like on it in the way of a birthday greeting. It is suggested but OPTIONAL to include one or more of the following: Some indication that you are an organ donor. State that you have made a contribution in his name to a charity of your choice Picture of yourself Picture of you and Mandy How many concerts and where they took place. Your favorite song Your favorite Mandy moment As soon as I make my page I will put it on a web site so you can view it and I could even add everyone else to it so the group can see the finished product (if you wish your page to not be posted on the web page simply let me know. This idea is just a suggestion but not am important part of the project. The dead line for receiving the pages is November 6th. I know his birthday is not until the 30th but I need time, and it may be quietly given to him at one of his concerts in mid November. So remember DEADLINE, NOV. 6th. Here are a list of some of his charities..... Any charity of Mandys will do!! Gilda Place PAX Physicians for Human Rights Association to Benefit Children Doctors without Borders Crohn's and Colitis Foundation Eye Bank Association of America National Keratoconus Foundation Broadway Cares-Equity Fights AIDS I do hope we have a substantial turn out. And I hope that this idea sounds good to at least some of you. If you have any questions please email me privately. Thank you and lets make it a VERY Happy Birthday for our guy.

The Fair Oaks Audio recording -- on two tapes or two CDs -- is titled "The Diaries of Adam & Eve: Translated by Mark Twain" and features Mark Twain's most personal writings, imagined diaries of Adam and Eve. The recording also boasts a performance from Mandy Patinkin, and this marks the first occasion the two Tony winners have worked opposite each other. Luckily for listeners, both are innately musical and find the 'music' in Twain's lyrical work, which mirrors his and his wife's personalities. Former newsman Walter Cronkite can also be heard on the two discs/cassettes; in fact, producer Don Roberts says Cronkite "has that 'voice of God,' which is perfect for the narration of this sort of story. [Buckley, Patinkin and Cronkite] were our first (and only) choices, and their readings exceeded our expectations in every way." ******************************************************************** Mandy Patinkin - High Flying Adored http://home.att.net/~mosert/char/mandy.htm ******************************************************************** ----------------Message-boundary From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: tees Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 13:47:11 -0500 Hi, I have 5 takers for the tees.

The REASON i said this was because I was referring to an * inside list * joke or experience per say. I was making a jab at last years Birthday fiasco. For those of you who do not remember or were not here. A very nice gal on the list did his birthday and it turned into the most embarrassing exchange of posts and reactions that one could imagine. List members fighting, arguing, ripping out each others hair, not to mention eyeballs ,( naturally saving the cornea and sending them on to Mandy * claiming * they were their own! Humph! Endless days of discussion over wording and presentation, who will give it, how will it be given, what will the gift really * say * to him. The history of gift giving. Dissecting everything right down to the color of the car the damn thing would ride in < joke> . I joke and yet its true that many people were hurt and it was a terrible experience for those working their guts out to try and do something nice for Mandy and for the list. I was simply making a reference to Mandys last birthday, and hoping to avoid any controversy. In the end Mandy loved his gift that Carol M put together and it made all the fighting seem useless. If anyone has taken offense please take my sincere apology and know that what I really meant was * lets not go through that again *.

Chicago Hope
The doctors welcome several new colleagues and one old one -- Dr. Geiger (Mandy Patinkin) -- as the new season opens. New to the staff are Drs. Gina Simon, Jeremy Hanlon and Francesca Alberghetti (Carla Gugino, Lauren Holly, Barbra Hershey). In "Team Play", Simon deasl with the consequences of a liposuction gone wrong, Alberghetti performs a tough geart operation on a child after Geiger refuses, and a priest comes into the emergency room with an embarrassing injury.
How could DEK make Geiger look like the bad guy? Sure, he is a nut -- everyone is a little nutty sometimes --, but Geiger fans have seen his heart, including me.
