And they say I've changed! 2000 photo
With my beloved family from left
to right
me, my cousin Jan, Uncle Dale, Aunt Alma and Uncle Med (sitting)
This is the house
where it all started -
My grandmother gave birth to my mother in Italy in the same house my
grandfather was born in - we still own that house -
this is the house my grandfather built in his early 20's in 1922 in
Inwood Long Island.

"As
the author of six plays on Broadway, including 'Luv' and 'Jimmy Shine,'
and the co-writer of the film 'Tootsie,' among others, it is some
thirty-five years in theatre and film that causes me to celebrate John's
talent as both writer and actor." MURRAY SCHISGAL (I promised I'd never send him
another script...)
"Since my Hollywood writing career (Writer/Supervising Producer The
Cosby Show), I've had the pleasure of getting to know John Monteleone
who starred in my solo HIM AND HIS LAST NIGHT OF SANITY. He is a
talented performer and writer, whose work should be seriously
considered." GARY KOTT (I'm twice his size so... )
Powerful Performance
NEWSDAY (she meant by breath).
"Monteleone is both funny and pathetic as the madman." NEWSDAY
(He meant me, not the character).
"Congratulations on a most powerful
performance."
PBS (anything to get out of paying
me).
"Bravura
Performance" NEWSDAY (she was watching the football
game on TV during the performance).
"Excellent!" CIRCLE IN THE SQUARE
THEATRE, NYC (wasn't in a rush
writing that review...)
