Walter Jacobsen Charles Biography (1945-)
Addresses: Agent: Baldwin-Scully, Inc., 501 Fifth Ave., New York, NY,10017.
"The other great love of my life is classical music. I started out as a pianist, and still play for my own amusement--and the amusement of my friends, I might add. I support several musical organizations, especially Carnegie Hall.Great music goes directly to the emotions, more than any other art, in my view. I still remember being thrilled when I read that John Gielgud orchestratedhis great readings of Shakespeare.... Having recently purchased a country house, I've become increasingly concerned with environmental issues, and I'm passionately supportive of all attempts to clean up the water, air, andprotect as much of our wildlife as possible."
