Gore Vidal and Lincoln's legacy

[BettyO]

I'm sorry to hear that Mr. Vidal has passed on. I read Burr years ago and enjoyed it greatly. I have also read his Lincoln - and yes, errors aside enjoyed it a well. I was also an extra in the shooting of Gore Vidal's Lincoln which was filmed here in Richmond in 1986. Yes, I have photos and got to meet both Mary Tyler Moore (Mrs. Lincoln) and Sam Waterston (Lincoln) -- both were very pleasant and amiable. I even gave Sam Waterston a tour through Maymont House when I volunteered there. He had a wonderful sense of humor and yes, Mary Tyler Moore IS "Our Mary" -- just as she appeared on the "Mary Tyler Moore Show!
