Jonathan CROMBIE?!

'kinell, it's been twenty years for all of us, hasn't it.  It's just as well I didn't know that was him any sooner, I suppose.  (Incidentally, I saw him once as Romeo, and he was outstanding.  Also as Orlando de Boys, and ditto.)

Yup. But someone up there was weak for a few years -- she was The Favorite Ingenue for a good long while, wasn't she. Urgh.

But that was the one where she started to come out of the drug-induced coma just after he'd taken his own poison but before he'd fallen down dead, and god, the look on his face, and I'll remember that audience's collective gasp pretty much for the rest of my life. So that's all right. :-) (Luhrman, schmurman -- I understand that he had them look at each other and realize they were both dying, which takes that concept beyond its dramatic usefulness, if you ask me.)
