In 1985, a couple living on the Upper East Side planned a rare night out while their daughter was babysat. After finding their first theater choice sold out, they decided to see 'Prizzi's Honor' instead. While waiting in line, they serendipitously met an iconic older couple, later recognizing them as the celebrated actors Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn. This unexpected moment highlights the vibrant cultural experiences of New York City and the magic of memorable encounters in everyday life.
Dear Diary: It was 1985, and my husband and I were living on the Upper East Side. We planned a rare date night out and found a friend to babysit our 1-year-old daughter.
Unfortunately, when we got to the theater, we found that the next showing was sold out. Determined not to waste the evening, we walked a few blocks to another theater, where Prizzi's Honor, with Kathleen Turner, Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston, was about to start.
As we waited to buy tickets, I noticed an older couple standing a few feet ahead of us in line. I nudged my husband, 'Look, I whispered. That couple: That's Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn!"
