Rating: 3 out of 5Jane Great/Dick Not So Great
by dare2cre8 on 4/11/11Harrah's Rincon Casino - Pavilion - Valley CenterMaybe he was just having an "off" night, but Dick Cavett really disappointed me. He couldn't seem to connect with Jane or with the audience but talked a lot about himself. Poor Jane could see it was going off the rails and tried to help by soliciting questions from the audience. All Dick could do was try to remember things that had jumped out at him from her book and repeat them--no effort to entreat Jane to tell us more or similar stories. His contributions ended up just being distractions to the dialogue between Jane and the audience. For that, I didn't need to pay to see Dick Cavett; what I wanted was for HIM to ask the hot questions that I would not have thought to ask.
Jane was gracious and showed herself to be well-informed on a variety of social issues as well as acting and show business. Had some very good stories to tell about celebrities she's known and worked with.
