On Broadway, Lane has appeared in “The Producers� as Max Bialystock and in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum� as Pseudolus. Coincidentally, Zero Mostel had played both roles in earlier films. Coincidental with Nathan Lane’s enormous talent, he won Tony Awards for his Bilaystock and his Pseudolus. Accepting his second Tony, he looked towards the heights and thanked the spirit of Zero Mostel for having inhabited him. Lucky for Nathan, it was only the spirit, because Zero Mostel had more extra baggage than Paris Hilton flying for a mysterious rendez-vous with an unknown Greek billionaire.
