The personal blog of actor and director Mario Martone.
Not to be confused with the other Mario Martone.
Welcome to my Blog!
New posts every other Monday.
This is the site of the 'other' Mario Martone. He directs plays (not films, as the other guy does).

Reflections and commentaries by the other Mario Martone 
Mario, dear and brilliant old friend, we had no idea you were blogging! Since our phone has been out for 18 days (Time-Warner must be having cosmological interference), we tried to find an e-mail address for you. After finding that OTHER Mario, we found this blog!! Stupendous! Astounding!
Love, Kathy and Bob
This is a sort of sweet coincidence to find after my reading this blog
for the first time (while searching out a connection I heard about just
today that Martone is in olden days (just after the Spanish Inquisition) is an Italian Jewish name , My spouse’s first name
is Kathryn ,my late wife was that of the surname , Jung.
I am a New York City born Martone & yes my Nephew a key grip in
motion pictures has worked with “the other Mario Martone” .
Sorry to take up and upon the kindness of Kathy & Bob’s reply.
Oh yes , I was exhibiting my art at the Fogg Museum at Harvard University
when “The other Michael Martone” was at the same time the Harvard writer in residence. We are both book authors.
Good to hear from you to night. Let all the family know you are doing well. You have been busy with “blogging”

My Goodness, Mr. Martone!!! I am Stephanie Sheppard; the actress that played Betty Paris in your First directorship of the play, The Crucible, in the off-Broadway theatre in Greenwich Village back in I believe about 1960-61. I just found my ‘scroll’ program from the play and then I googled you and found this blog!! My it has been a very long time. The Crucible is still my very favorite play to act in. I have done many professional shows since, including The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie on Broadway in 1968 at the Helen Hayes Theatre. I am getting ready to make a documentary about myself and my brother when we used to write songs in 1970. Can’t say too much till the release. I am also a professional photographer now and have many international awards, as well as a photograph in the permanent collection of the Griffin Museum of Photography, in Winchester, Mass. I am so glad to know that you are well and active with a blog: you are way ahead of me!!!! Do let me hear from you. It would be a thrill.
Best Regards,
Stephanie Sheppard – Little Falls, NY
