Here Lies Luciano Pavarotti. The fat lady finally sang.

Here Lies Jerome Robbins. Conceived by Lena & Harry Rabinowitz.

Larry Gelbart: I’d rather be out of town with a musical.

Johnny Carson. Heeeeeeeeeeere’s Johnny.

William Wyler: God got me on the first take.

David Lean: I’ve been on much better locations.

Sacha Guitry: (with an epitath suggested by a divorced wife) Stiff for the first time.

Tony Randall: I’m not going to take this lying down.

These fictional epitaths comprise the last chapter of a very funny book full of show business stories written by Randall and Mike Mindlin. It is called “Which Reminds Me.” (I have to think that this title was used before.)

Suzi, I still disagree with you about the Hearst reference in another column but I usually don’t opt to prolong disagreements. I enjoyed contributing in a small way to the Morlocks columns and look forward to doing so in 2010.

Happy New Year!

Good stuff :) I have a little book called “R.I.P.” that contains a lot of these type of things: “Over My Dead Body” (George S Kaufman), “I Told you so, Dammit!” (HG Wells)

Thanks for the post!
