VOICE FROM THE PAST

Although I was two grades below Julie Kavner in high school, I had Advanced Drama with her and remember her well (“The Prime of Ms. Julie Kavner,” by Margy Rochlin, Jan. 26). She was quiet, down-to-earth and friendly.

I vividly remember drama teacher John Ingle telling Kavner that she needed to do something about her voice if she ever wanted to be successful. Years later, it is this unique physical attribute, along with her talent and hard work, that has set her apart.
