| 1 | According to Neil Simon, Michael Moriarty played an "effeminate" Richard III in in an awkward performance of the Shakespearean play, which also featured Simon's wife Marsha Mason as Lady Anne. Simon believed the unusual portrayal was the (unnamed) director's choice, not Moriarty's, of whom Simon is a fan. This inspired the central storyline of a similarly odd Richard III in Simon's The Goodbye Girl (1977) that an actor (Richard Dreyfuss) is compelled to perform by a wacky director (Paul Benedict). Mason plays the actor's love interest, who consoles Moriarty's fictional counterpart. |
