Sunday brunch at the Woods with "Lou Grant"


Holocaust survivor Eva Kor (pictured from left), actor/activist Edward Asner and guests enjoyed Sunday brunch today at O’Shaughnessy Dining Room at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind. Asner was the guest speaker last night at the 6th Annual CANDLES Holocaust Museum Fall Reception, “An Evening with Ed.” He’d been to Terre Haute years ago, before the museum was built. He said he enjoyed the evening and his brunch guests agreed that Asner was an entertaining speaker. Asner said he found the Woods “beautiful” and planned to tour the grounds after brunch. Asner is the only actor to win Emmys for playing the same character in both a comedy (“The Mary Tyler Moore Show”) and a drama (“Lou Grant”). He has also received the Screen Actors Guide Lifetime Achievement Award. Recently, he’s remembered for being the voice of the cranky-yet-lovable Carl Fredricksen, a widower and former balloon salesman in the 2009 animated movie adventure “Up.”

You are so lucky! I wouldn't mind having them for company at brunch, too.
