"Faerie Tale Theatre" Posthumous Reunion: The Stars' Final Resting Places
Some people might think I'm obsessed with death. A minor hobby of mine is to research celebrities' final resting places, via the website Find a Grave and the YouTube channel Hollywood Graveyard. And I like perusing themed guides to famous graves. For example, Hollywood Graveyard's videos themed to Christmas, Halloween, the cast and crew of The Wizard of Oz, cast and crew members of The Twilight Zone, etc., or Find A Grave's "Posthumous Reunion" pages for famous movie and TV show casts, sports teams, etc.
I decided to create a similar guide for the cast of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. Sadly, all too many stars of that cult classic series are no longer with us. Here's a guide (with links to Find a Grave pages) to the various places where those stars are buried, in case anyone here might like to visit a few someday.

El drama familiar es sólido, las discusiones son creíbles y la tensión entre los miembros de la familia se puede cortar con un cuchillo. La trama policial es interesante y mejora con cada revelación. Lo del phrogging es novedoso, la escena del niño en la bicicleta que para en seco y todas las secuencias de terror terminan de unificar la historia.
El viaje
Un matrimonio (Noomi Rapace), ambos con la intención de asesinar al otro, se van a una cabaña, donde se esconden 3 presos fugitivos.
Yo estuve aquí
2 grafiteros ingresan ilegalmente a casas y dejan el mensaje "yo estuve aquí". Cuando la novia de uno de ellos queda embarazada, decide dejarlo, pero cuando su amigo desaparece, ayuda a su madre a averiguar qué pasó.

By Mel Gussow
Nov. 2, 1979
IN his Pulitzer Prize‐winning drama, “The Shadow Box,” Michael Cristofer dealt compassionately with death and dying. In “Ice,” which will run through Sunday at the Manhattan Theater Club, he is concerned with bleak survival, death in life: two lonely men and a woman in an isolated cabin in the Alaska wilderness.
Clearly, Mr. Cristofer has intended to write an archetypical drama about vagrant people, who, through force of circumstance, have become more animal than human. However, the result is unfocused and unsavory — a selfparody whose best feature is its brevity.
•
The owner of the cabin, played by William Russ, begins as a clean‐cut outdoorsman. Inexplicably, he invites a scrofulous derelict to share his quarters, and talks to him as if he might be an old buddy from high school, instead of a filthy, crab‐infested stranger. By the end of the play, the derelict (J. T. Walsh) is sober, shaven and even articulate — with cleanliness comes good speech. On the other hand, Mr. Russ is chattering to himself like a deranged parrot. The switch in roles is as obvious as it is farfetched. As Susan Sharkey, playing a woman called Sunshine, says, “Surprises are hard to come by out here.”
Miss Sharkey is the primary asset of Robert Woodruff's production. She is, as usual, a striking and sensual presence, but her role and the play are marshaled against her. Sunshine is loosetalking and promiscuous, aggressively available to one man and another. The men in the play are usually passive when it comes to sex, although in other respects they can be whirligigs of energy, charging into the night to walk four cold miles to stand alone at the nearest bar.
As director, Mr. Woodruff is unable to give the play a basis in credibility. He and Sally Jacobs, as designer, err in not stressing Arctic authenticity. The play begins with Mr. Russ unboarding a window in his cabin, exposing the room to inclement weather, but the place never seems the least bit wintry.
In contrast, for Mr. Walsh's first entrance, the makeup department has outdone itself in seeking versimilitude, caking the actor with what appears to be grease and spittle. He looks as if someone stepped on his face with muddy boot. The probable explanation for the seemingly unnecessary intermission is that it gives Mr. Walsh time to wash up and change his clothes.
One other theatrical footnote: this is the second time in a week that an ax has been used as a comic stage prop. In “Emigres” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a character uses one to open a tiny tin can. In “Ice,” Mr. Russ takes an ax, raises it high over his head, and with unerring aim chops himself a nice neat slice of birthday cake.
“Ice” was first presented at the Mark Taper Forum in 1976, and since then, Mr. Cristofer has written a number of other plays. Perhaps this one should be regarded as the equivalent of a successful novelist's failed second novel — something to be forgotten.
A Sunday matinee at 3 P.M. has been added to the schedule of “The 1940's Radio Hour,” the musical at the St. James Theater, 246 West 99th Street. T‐shirts with the logo of the show will be given free to the audience at this Sunday's matinee, tickets for which range from $11 to $20.
Cabin Fever
ICE, by Michael Cristofer. Directed by Robert Woodruff; setting and costumes by Sally Jacobs; lighting by Marc B. Weiss; production stage manager, William Chance. Presented by the Manhattan Theater Club, Lynne Meadow, artistic director; Barry Grove, managing director. At Upstage/Cabaret, 321 East 73d Street.
Murph ... William Russ
Ray ... J.T. Walsh
Sunshine ... Susan Sharkey
