The Case for Hill’s Films

What a pleasure to read Susan King’s interview of Steven Hill (“He Helped Make the Case for the Golden Age of Television,” Nov. 14), an actor who can disappear into a character without drawing undue attention to himself.

What I found missing were any references to his movie roles in the last few decades so your readers under 40 might be able to exclaim “I remember him!” Without going down his long list of credits, let me just single out his superb performance as the gruff rabbi father of Amy Irving in the Streisand-directed “Yentl.” Oh yes, I remember him!
