Director Andrew Bergman, father of Teddy ’05, appears in a very important article in today's NY Times about people getting evicted from their studio space in Carnegie Hall with some words of wisdom and, of course, name dropping.

Here are some highlights of Mr. Bergman dropping names like Lindsay drops her pants (ooh snap, umm yeah whatever):

“It reminded me of the legal papers in ‘A Night at the Opera,’ ” said Andrew Bergman, one of those who received his papers from the process server and not, to his regret, from Groucho Marx. “ ‘The party of the first part shall be known as the party of the first part.’ ”

“I don’t have to be in that building,” he said. “But I love that building. When I moved in 25 years ago, I was next door to a ballet studio; it was like a Degas painting. Wynn Handman was teaching actors — he’s still there, they served his papers on his 80th birthday.

“Brando, who I later worked with, had lived on my floor,” Mr. Bergman continued. “Marilyn Monroe took acting lessons there, Lucille Ball took voice. It’s a great feeling of an artistic community. If you’re a writer, it’s great. You can’t get that in a building of lawyers.”
