"The legend that is Nathan Lane turned 70 earlier this month. However, he shows no signs of slowing down. He's soon to star alongside Laurie Metcalf in a revival of Death Of A Salesman on Broadway. Previews start March 6 at the Winter Garden Theatre. It was announced this week that the show has already extended its planned run from June 14 to August 9."
"He was suddenly hot property again. NBC decided to create a sitcom for him. Rooney plays a character called Oliver Nugent, who flees his depressing and boring retirement home to live with his student grandson, Adam, played by Dana Carvey. Lane plays Adam's student roommate, Jonathan, who's none too pleased to find himself sharing his accommodation with the elderly Oliver."
Nathan Lane turned 70 and remains active, starring opposite Laurie Metcalf in a Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman. Previews begin March 6 at the Winter Garden Theatre, and the run has been extended from June 14 to August 9. Lane made his Broadway debut in 1982 in Noël Coward's Present Laughter, directed by and starring George C. Scott, launching his theatre career. In 1982 Lane also had his first notable screen role in the short-lived NBC sitcom One of the Boys opposite Mickey Rooney; the series lasted one season and has been widely criticized. Mickey Rooney earlier found fame as a child actor, became Hollywood's highest-paid actor in the early 1940s, later declined, and then enjoyed a late-career resurgence that led to the NBC sitcom in which Lane appeared.
