Ludi Claire Biography (1927-)
"Vital influences in development have been my associations with many great talents--Sir Tyrone Guthrie, Dame Judith Anderson, Lord Olivier, Vivien Leigh,Katherine Hepburn, Dorothy Stickney. They are great ladies and gentlemen of the theatre, a vanishing breed, who taught much by their own behavior. Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy were Best Man and Maid of Honor at my marriage to Laurence Hugo."
