It is a delight on this Sunday to share Jerry Orbach Remembering Love Letters book. It is entitled: Remember How I Love You: Love Letters from an Extraordinary Marriage.
The movie Dirty Dancing opened on this day in 1987.
Remember How I Love You: Love Letters from an Extraordinary Marriage
This book caught my eye several months ago. The book came out in 2009.
“Every morning for the thirteen years he was on Law & Order, Jerry Orbach wrote his wife a short love poem and placed it next to her coffee cup before he left for work.
Over the years Jerry wrote hundreds of notes — all of which Elaine cherished and preserved. Now dozens of Jerry’s most meaningful poems to Elaine, along with stories from his amazing career and their enduring romance, tell the tale of their life together. With essays from some of Jerry’s dearest friends and a foreword by Sam Waterston, Elaine created a collection of funny and moving poetry and a tribute to a wonderful marriage and a dearly loved man.
The world remembers Jerry as a legendary Broadway actor, Baby’s father in Dirty Dancing, and of course the wisecracking detective Lenny Briscoe on Law & Order. But to his widow, Elaine, Jerry was a poet…and the love of her life.” – From Goodreads

Jerry Orbach played El Gallo in the Original Off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks on May 3, 1960. He was the first to sing “Try to Remember”.
If you ever get a chance to see the production see it!
