Boston loves David Sedaris. We know because we sold the tickets to his last three appearances here - and were forced to turn away the throngs that called us after he sold out. We love him, we're such an NPR town, some of us even think of him as one of the family. But how many Bostonians know of Mr. Sedaris' love for the soap opera One Life to Live? Yep. Turns out Mr. Sedaris is such a fan of the show that they named a portion of their studio after him: The David Sedaris Annex.
You did know? OK, well I didn't know.
In her article in The New York Observer, Rebecca Dana covers a range of celebrity soap fans, but it was Sedaris that caught our eye:
"Mr. Sedaris has written extensively about the writerly appeal of soaps,
especially One Life to Live, and he is thought to have appeared several
times on the program as an extra, although Mr. Valentini demurred to discuss
these roles. 'I’ve asked him a few times to consider a speaking part,' he said, 'but he said he would be too nervous.'"
