		I believe Charles had said Nancy recorded a few days earlier to use for her appearance...but unfortunetly she passed away and never made it for the actual appearance.
		Of course she sang "Moon River", and the combination of how incredibly beautifully she sang it, the lyrics of the song, and the knowledge that she probably knew the end was near, was just too much.
		Charles was crying as he said goodnight and so was I. It was one of the most moving musical experiences of my life.

		Grodin reveals the workings of the board through the eyes of its youngest member, Tom Rashman (Robert Parsons), a theatrical producer who financially wouldn't have qualified to live in the building were it not for the intervention of his uncle and surrogate father, Frank Rashman (Ken Ruta).
		Grodin writes natural sounding and easily-flowing dialogue, and the cast delivers it with skill.
		The exaggeration, the stretch from the real to the satirical, is moderate here; anyone who knows the workings of such a board (as Grodin does) will find it all rather close to the bone.

		Grodin demonstrated how open-minded, gullible, and devoted to his dead mother he is, as he fawned over the man who talks to heaven.
		Van Praagh's performance on Grodin's show was less than heavenly, but it was enough to satisfy Grodin and at least one couple in the audience who seemed to believe that their dead daughter was talking to Van Praagh.
		The only skepticism shown by Grodin was in wondering whether Van Praagh wasn't really reading the minds of the audience and the callers, rather than getting his messages from "the other side".
