Howard Hesseman(1940-2022)

Was a close friend and sometime lover of Janis Joplin in the late 1960s.

[on Segni particolari: genio (1986)] We're not doing the show that I was led to believe I'd do, and it's difficult for me to get off that. I don't want to air dirty laundry in public, but I do feel that the educational arena is one that offers a variety of story ideas as a means of investigating our lives -what we mean to one another and what's important. We could do all that with considerable humor, not with jokes, but with genuine humor that comes out of character and situations.
