Ten Chimneys Welcomes Dick Van Patten
April 10, 2010

Beloved television dad and Lunt protégé Dick Van Patten joined Ten Chimneys on April 10 for the first of 2010’s Conversations at Ten Chimneys. Mr. Van Patten shared stories about his life, his career, and the fascinating people he’s known along the way.
Mr. Van Patten started as a child actor, playing alongside Broadway stars such as Melvyn Douglas and Tallulah Bankhead. As a teenager, he spent three years playing the son of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in O Mistress Mine (winning the role over a young Marlon Brando). After the conversation, Mr. Van Patten signed copies of his new memoir, Eighty Is Not Enough.
Inspired by the legendary conversations around Alfred and Lynn’s dining room table, each national-caliber “Conversation at Ten Chimneys” offers guests a meaningful connection to theatre, the Lunts, and the themes and values of Ten Chimneys.
If you would like to attend future programs, please visit our calendar to learn more about upcoming events. Next, Ten Chimneys looks forward to welcoming renowned entertainer Mark Nadler for Music in the Drawing Room April 23-24.
