Actor JASON ROBARDS. He's 73 years old and he's been acting for 50 of those. He won an Oscars for his performance as Ben Bradlee in "All the President's Men," and Dashiell Hammett in "Julia." In 1956 ROBARDS first came to the attention of the critics with his performance in Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh." His performance helped define the role for a generation. It also began ROBARDS collaboration with director Jose Quintero, resurrecting the works of O'Neill. ROBARDS is currently performing in New York in Harold Pinter's new play "Moonlight."
