On December 21, SHOWTIME will present a film,
"Alone," written by award-winning playwright, Horton
Foote. Hume Cronyn and James Earl Jones head a cast that
includes Piper Laurie, Ed Begley, Jr., Shelley Duvall, David
Selby, and Frederic Forrest.
Cronyn, who celebrated his 86th birthday in July, says, "I
wanted to do this movie because it's a wonderful Horton
Foote story about a widowed old man, whom I play, who
lives alone on his family farm. His dauehter and son-in-law
believe there' s oil under his land and they bring in drills and
pumps. My character watches them as they're driven by
false hopes and, perhaps, by the worst sin of all, greed."
In his own life, Cronyn, who was widowed a few years
ago when his wife, Jessica Tandy, died after a long, happy
marriage that was also a long, successful professional rela-
tionship, has remarried.
"Although I am married to a wonderful woman now," he
says, "I still feel the pain of Jessie's death and how difficult
it was for me to accept that was she really gone, and to make
changes in my life that, while realistic, were also painful.
"Jessie and I used to say how fortunate we were to be
growing old together. But when she died, I felt we hadn't
been old together long enough."
Cronyn says he finally came to terms with the fact that he
would have to make changes in his life, such as moving from
the New York apartment he and Tandy had shared for years,
into a home in Connecticut,"with a real kitchen in which my
wife can do some real cookin
