Also, I found it funny that Charles McGrath describes Langella during the interview as acting in some ways like Nixon (“In person Mr. Langella carries himself with an almost papal bearing. He accepts compliments graciously but with a little nod that suggests you’re not telling him anything he doesn’t know already.”). Also, Langella was with Whoopi Goldberg?
