Hey Rob!

This is Charlene Fellows. You probably don't even know who I am! But we did an acting exercise where I lead you around either blindfolded or with your eyes closed and I have never forgotten you all of these years later.

The years at Estelle's were really memorable years!

Hi D.C.
Yes, Estelle had high esteem for your talent. It was quite evident and well deserved. I have seen you in a few things, but like most actors I pursued a different career. Acting is what I wanted most, but I was either a big hit or a miserable failure. I did the study of Deirdre Damon, but I don't know if you remember that. I am happy for your success thus far and keep me posted on your upcoming endeavors.
Yours truly,
Dennis K. Lindsay

Hi Kimberly! I was on the same scholarship with you and I think Andy Ellenberg was on with us on scholarship! I was Liz Thiel back then. So many great memories of our shows at Le Conte. Felise Cohen was Estelle Harman's daughter, Eden's best friend and we were recently talking about how Eden is still teaching at her mom's wonderful acting school! Suzie Harris was an amazing teacher, especially for young kids like us in our earliest experiences on stage. May she rest in peace. I hope you are happy and well! All the Best, Elizabeth Argillier

I studied with Estelle in 1960-61 with people like bill Bixby, Ray Anthony and Mamie van Doren.
It was a great time for me and I really liked Bill and he was also very helpful with projects I worked on. It was truly a great time in my youth.

I studied with Estelle Harman from 1972-74. I was young, 18, and green. I've been trying to contact some of my former classmates for several years now, even ran an ad in the L.A. Times and unfortunately only heard from several inmates in federal prison! I remember Ari (we knew him at the time as Itzak) Barak when he first started there. The first thing I ever saw him do was a monologue from Richard III. Those were the happiest days of my life.

I studied at Estelle's during the early 80's. I met a lot of wonderful people there. What happened to Suzi Harris? When did she pass away? She was a terrific teacher.

I won a scholarship from LeConte Junior High, Mr. Robert Crumb's drama class in 1979
it was truly one of the best times of my life.

I studied at Estelle's during the early eighties and I have to tell you those were the best years of my life. I am happy to see this dedication. I am not part of face book but this will entice me to join. I adored Suzi Harris and remember her as being a very caring instructor. I was filled with sadness when I heard she passed a few years ago.

Thank you! Though Hee-Haw (as opposed to EHAW) did come in handy for understanding the eight years there with Bush. There's always an upside!

I have to say you've done great! If you have two constants half-way through your life that's more than nothing! Having an EHAW family has obviously been more productive for you than watching the HEE HAW family did for me! (Sorry that's all I saw reading EHAW and something was missing-HE). I cannot recall any life-changing benefit from all my young years of watching HEE HAW! Though in all fairness, I do have some laugh lines I can attribute to it. I'd say you had a great opportunity that many of us would like to have had then and now! Nice reflection! I hope your alumni gathering is a huge success! Is it just me? I love old 50s photos! People dressed like they had some class or self-respect even if they didn't. I know…I sound like a fuddy-duddy.

So, you're saying Rock Hudson called his 'Waldo?'

You must've been around my age in that video, pretty intense acting going on there. This sounds like a really neat thing to be apart of…..I cant find waldo =/
