It was a production of ‘The Taming of the Shrew’… I played the tailor.”
“I just had one scene, however I keep in mind getting a couple of laughs because scene that I’m sure Shakespeare had actually not planned,” Levy quipped, “however even then, the noise of audience laughter had a huge appeal for me. That’s how I invested the next 50-plus years working funny, playing funny characters. How gratifying was that? A life invested making individuals laugh.”
