This man changed my life forever. He hired me as an 11 year old actress to be in a show he directed back in 1989. He called my his light footed dancer and taught me so much about theater, life and how not to get caught up in any of the backstage drama...keep it on the stage!!!! His favorite words of direction was "The shortest distance between 2 points, is the shortest distance between 2 points!" This man was a wonderful director, writer and one of the most inspirational people I have every met in all of my life. He will be missed and his creative soul will live on though all of the people he worked with.
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Mundell in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, in the mid-1990s, during productions of the outdoor dramas, The Legend of Daniel Boone, and Shadows in the Forest. He was a man of many talents and a great American.
