  • In her latest film, "Between the Temples," Oscar-nominated actress Carol Kane plays a retired music teacher who is determined to be bat mitzvahed. Kane talks with correspondent Nancy Giles about how her own mother inspired her character; how Andy Kaufman taught her the "language" that their characters, Latka and Simka, spoke on the TV series "Taxi"; and how, as a student, she resisted the opinion of a doctor who said she should never set foot on stage.

      Honestly, I hope that's not me...but if you have someone who's an actual loving, carrying, nurturing "mother' like Kane does, that's a different story.

      @@steveconn I'm so sad for you that you have not had experiences with vital older folks in your life. My Mom lost her mom just before she turned 97 (my Mom was 71), and she was remarkable to her last day. I just helped celebrate the birthday of a dear neighbor friend who turned 101, and wish that more people could know her, she is so amazing, and I learn something from her everyday I spend with her.

    I did box office for a show Carol Kane was in. One day, she was running late and called the box office to ask if I would jsut pop my head in the rehearsal room and tell them she was running late. She didn't have another number. I'll never forget hearing that iconic voice on the phone and freaking out internally, 'Hello, this is Carol Kane.' She truly is a legend. My dad and I would quote her scenes from Scrooged to each other all the time. At the end of her run with the show, she brought me a red rose. She had been giving them out to everyone in the production and I was so touched that she didn't forget me.
