Edward AlbeeThe New York Post is one of the vilest rags around, but Michael Riedel’s March 12 column on Edward Albee, who’s turning 80 today, is well worth checking out.

A couple of Albee quotes, remembering his lover of 35 years, artist Jonathan Thomas, who died of cancer in 2005.

"I learned something important about dying, about a slow death, as Jonathan’s was. What I learned was: Never forget who’s dying. It’s not about you. It’s always about them.

"And I learned something about grief: It never ends. It’s like a third arm."

"Am I lonely? Probably. Yes. I want Jonathan back."

And here’s a picture of Edward Albee in 1962, the year of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (the play, not the movie, which was adapted for the screen by Ernest Lehman).

And here’s Albee in 1961.

    Edward Albee is a genius. So sorry to learn of his loss.

    I wonder if Albee is working on another play.
