My Take
To me Jason Robards belongs in a class apart. Two consecutive Academy Awards, a Tony, an Emmy, and a Cannes acting prize put him among the very few to claim acting's Triple Crown, yet what moves me is that he was a stage man first, celebrated as the great interpreter of Eugene O'Neill. He chose depth over glamour, weight over ease. In an industry that rewards shine, his career is a reminder that the richest acting often comes from the theatre. I would not want his kind of seriousness forgotten.
