This morning I was reading an obituary of the fine chracter actor Hume Cronyn, and I noticed that he had a (kind of) Lizzie connection.
In the 1960 film "Sunrise at Campobello," he portrayed Louis Howe, who, as most of us know, was married to Lizzie's cousin Grace Hartley Howe.

While I was reading the piece, it occurred to me that Cronyn's late wife, Jessica Tandy, might, in her younger days, have made a very interesting Lizzie.

Thats a cool find, Edisto.  I remember just a few days ago on morning radio they were saying how when celebrities go, its usually in threes.  Hume Cronyn is number three, how sad.
