@nypl #RIP Valerie Harper
Another scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses, this time with Richard Schaal, who was her husband at the time. Schaal played four different characters in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, including Chuckles the Clown.

@nypl A nice shot of the late Valerie Harper by Gary Friedman, while she was in Charles Busch's The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, 2002. Harper replaced Linda Lavin, & was replaced by Rhea Perlman.

@nypl If two stand shoulder to shoulder against the gods,
Happy together, the gods themselves are helpless,
Against them while they stand so.
