A tribute to Humbert Allen Astredo (1929–2016) on what would have been his 96th birthday. He was a gentleman and a top professional actor in 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴 and beyond. His witch boys are a real treasure, and Evan Hanley is a laugh and a half when he's playing foil to Quentin’s schemes.

Happy birthday to David Selby!
Shortly after his debut after months out of work as an actor, assistant producer Diane Paliotta presented Mr Selby with stacks of fan mail boxes, much to his incredulity. “Quentin’s overnight popularity was as surprising to me as it was to Dan [Curtis].”

A character study is never finished in the writing of a multi–faceted individual. Drives and desires inform Quentin’s actions. His debauchery and sorcerous proclivities put him on the path of fellow Collinsportians. Are you ready to meet him in the pale moonlight?

One need not be a Chamber—to be Haunted.
One need not be a House.
The Brain has Corridors
surpassing
Material Place.
Far safer, of a Midnight Meeting
External Ghost
Than its interior Confronting
That Cooler Host.

Than Unarmed, one’s a’self encounter—
In lonesome Place.
