Hal Holbrook was not only a performer at Proctors but a patron who helped shine a light on the historic theater.
(It was announced this week that Holbrook, 95, died on Jan. 23 at his home in Beverly Hills.)
In 1981, just a few years after the theater had reopened, Holbrook performed “Mark Twain Tonight!” a show that Dennis Madden, former executive director of Proctors, well remembers.
“It took him four hours to get [his] makeup on every night and, me being rather new at Proctors, a good deal of that time . . . I sat with him as he put his makeup on in our old dressing rooms and got to know him a little bit,” Madden said.

NEW YORK (AP) Declaring “God is on your side,” a Roman Catholic cardinal, an archbishop and six other U.S. bishops issued a statement this week expressing support for LGBT youth and denouncing the bullying often directed at them.
“All people of goodwill should help, support and defend LGBT youth,” said the statement released Monday by the Tyler Clementi Foundation, named for the Rutgers University student who took his own life in 2010 after being recorded on a webcam kissing another man.
Among those signing the statement were Cardinal Joseph Tobin, the archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, and Archbishop John Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
