Drivel Part of the Page: The other day (November 20th), as I was getting ready for work, I was frantically looking for a birthday person for our “Post of the Day”. When I saw it was Richard Masur’s 73rd birthday, I thought the website I was looking at had made a mistake because I thought he had passed away a few years ago. Well, I quick check told me that I was the one making the mistake and that Mr. Masue is alive and well and still making movies. So to make up for putting him in the grave early, I figured we should do an UMR page on him.
