![Screenshot of text from the interview:
You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?
I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.
[I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kauax6xnnqalxegoxv6ku6cv/bafkreigcfeqofifclu6we32xbzdi6klq6qpymjd4pal4mgxkatvmuf5jsu@jpeg)

According to Brunn's son, Gustav's wife paid a large sum of money to a lawyer for him to be released; as they had already applied for and received American visas, they were able to escape with their two children to New York City and later Baltimore, Maryland, where Brunn had family.!'! There, having brought with him only a small spice grinder, 8! Brunn founded the Baltimore Spice Company and produced the
"Delicious Brand Shrimp and Crab Seasoning", which was later renamed Old Bay. 12[13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ieluoyrr7apgy6rw3uo5zk3v/bafkreify3g7uamukdur4vdensoicfpobn24kjhshztjblwk7ph6ytyvora@jpeg)
