You reference 1950 and skip to 1969. I met Mr Foxworth in 1967 when he was the top male actor at Arena Stage. Why no credit? When Howard Sackler's The Great. White Hope was produced, there was no part suitable for Mr Foxworth, so Ed Sherin, the Managing Director added a show to run the same nights. James Earl Jones and Robert Foxworth played South African brothers in Athol Fugard's The Blood. Knot.
