Since John Granger has come up in the conversation here,. I’d like him to have a dramatic presence on the blog.

I have a collection of photos depicting most of John's characters in dress rehearsals, along with some head shots. I have some other material too cumbersome to describe in this comment section. Thanks for the idea, Mark. I'll forward something to your e-mail address next week. Mark, That is a spectacular idea!

I think I have a copy of the American Express ad that he did in the 80s... somewhere. John Granger needs a web site, or at least a web page.Do you have any photos from his audition portfolio?

He is mentioned sparingly for his film roles in Otto Preminger's "Advise and Consent," (a great political movie), and "Tatoo." Most of his work was live theater, and his name is mentioned on some theater websites for the two Broadway shows he performed, "Othello" in 1945, and "The Little Hut," in 1953. However, no biographical information to be found. Mark, I’ve researched John Granger’s bio on the web several times.

I am nowhere near any poets in my life or fine writers but I know something as touching as this to get my attention! Thank you for your artistic abilities in your writings and keep it up! Deana P.S. I wish I had a fine writer to do my marketing letters while I attempt to launch my business!

I’ve been imbued in the political/legal approach to disability and accessibility for many years. I know my righteous rhetoric about social justice and equal opportunity has its limits, but I can’t quite let it go, either. In my experience of both disability and accessibility, there’s plenty of room as well for satire and farce. For me, Delacroix’s <a href="http://blindflaneur.com/?p=490" rel="nofollow">Liberty Leading the People</a> bridges both perspectives, offering a stance that is forthright and comic at the same time. That works for me, and I’m pleased to know the humor resonates for you. And Tom, thanks as ever for your <a href="http://blindflaneur.com/?p=113" rel="nofollow">long friendship and steadfast support</a> of my writing. I’ve been thinking about John Granger ever since you mentioned that he toured with <a href="http://blindflaneur.com/?p=1639" rel="nofollow">Paul Robeson</a> once upon a time. Does John Granger have any documentary traces on the Web? Deana, thank you very much for your kind comment.

I've been hearing this voice in print for so many years that I sometimes take for granted the perceptive eloquence and unique sense of humor.
