And Hunter, whose goal was always "to be one of the really respected stage actresses," doesn't mind juggling her newfound fame with rehearsals for a Los Angeles production of Sam Shepard...
...Albany streets on a Halloween night in 1938, cadging free meals and hoping to make his peace with the phantoms who beckon to him from every trolley seat, backyard and yawning grave. So many lives behind him, and so many deaths. A man just wants to rock himself to sleep and not wake...
