Linda Lavin Remembered: Sarah Paulson, Allison Janney and ‘No Good Deed’ Creator Share Tributes
Hollywood figures including Allison Janney and Sarah Paulson shared memories of working together with Linda Lavin, who died Dec. 29.
In recent years, she appeared in “The Intern” alongside Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway and “Being the Ricardos” with Nicole Kidman. She recalled a story when the window got stuck within the first five minutes of the play and Lavin suggested, in front of the crowd, that they simply restart the production. “This was quintessentially why she was untouchable as a performer — she knew that the audience had seen the window fall, so we couldn’t continue as if it hadn’t — so we fixed it and began again — and they stayed with us.”
