TODAY’S FEATURED ITEM: I’m Learning to Share brings us a great photo gallery of the wonderfully expressive face of the late Zero Mostel. Reminds me of his delightful photos from a great out of print childrens’ book he did, The Sesame Street Book of Opposites… one of my daughter Esther’s old favorites (and one of mine when I was a kid). Some interesting info on Mostel there too… I didn’t know he was a painter. Click the images above to go there.
