Random Musings of a Curious Mind

Charles Nelson Reilly

I logged onto my MySpace page today to send Halloween cards to my friends and found a bulletin from Charles Nelson Reilly. Okay, from the generous soul who is keeping up Mr. Reilly's page. It included this interesting collection of photos from the making of his last movie "The Life of Reilly". I hope that you enjoy them as much as I did.



Everyone (at least everyone my age) remembers Mr. Reilly's antics on Match Game. Did you know that he won a Tony award in 1962 for his role in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which became the hit 1967 movie of the same name, starring Robert Morse? Mr. Reilly was nominated again in 1964 for his portrayal of Cornelius Hackl in Hello Dolly!, the role recreated by Michael Crawford, Tony award winner for Phantom of the Opera, in the 1969 Streisand film.

It seems to me that Charles Nelson Reilly's finest performances were quite inspiring to filmmakers in the 60s.
