In Celebration of Agnes Moorehead

Postby Harvey Chartrand » Sat Dec 13, 2008 12:18 pm

Moira Finnie has written an excellent piece about Agnes Moorehead for the Movie Morlocks site (TCM's Movie Blog edited by Richard Harland Smith). Finnie also interviews Charles Tranberg, author of "I Love the Illusion", a biography of Moorehead.

That was a nice interview about Agnes Moorehead. I grew up with her on Bewitched, as I'm sure many did. It was nice to find out later of her work with Welles. It was very similar to how I discovered Groucho Marx had a couple of funny brothers. I saw him on TV on the quiz show and went from there.

I am confident I am not alone is wondering how close Orson Welles remained with his Mercury colleagues. Close enough to remember them on the holidays at the very least

On eBay, there is a postcard for sale ($975!!!) from Welles to Agnes Moorehead. Here is the description:

Signed from Orson Welles to Actress Agnes Morehead. Vienna, Austria: 1959. The postcard is written, signed and addressed by Orson Welles and reads in full: “All my love darling Aggie, on Christmas and always, Orson.” is addressed to: “Miss Agnes Morehead, 1023 N. Roxbury Dr., Beverly Hills, California, U.S.A.” and is postmarked December 1, 1959.
