Robin Johnson signing autographs, approximately late 1980
 

 

“I’m convinced that if I do this long enough, I’ll have to start laying low in public, to endure the intrusion of strangers asking for autographs. I deeply admire Bette Midler, but I would never dare to ask her for an autograph; I wouldn’t bother her with nonsense like that.”
     — Robin Johnson, August 1981

 

 

Okay, this is the last item I’ve yet found dating from Times Square’s theatrical run, which started 39 years ago today.

I’ve been unable to find out anything about the photographer David Loar.

 

 

[added 30 March 2025 – this photo was taken at Robin’s appearance on The Merv Griffin Show in October 1980, according to the information recorded on the back of this photo of the same event by Audrey L. Chiu, posted here.]
