What a golden age that was. Is there anyone doing for classical music what Tony Randall did?
IIRC, when Arturo Delmoni's first LP was on First Hearing, everybody was very impressed by his Smetana "From the Home Country," and nobody hazarded a guess as to who the violinist was, when Arturo's name was announced, Tony Randall made the most eloquent non-verbal noise, as if to say, "Well, ya coulda fooled me!" I later met him at a NARAS New York function and he was charming and gracious.

Nowadays, the best of the Hollywood stars in this regard is probably Alec Baldwin. But he's no Tony Randall. Remember Marilyn Horne's guest appearance on The Odd Couple TV show? Randall was a true opera expert.
