About this Quote

Adolph Green's quote is a fond memory of a possibility encounter with Judy Holliday. It is most likely that Green remained in the Village Vanguard, a jazz club in New York City, when he satisfied Holliday. Holliday was a girl who wanted to pursue a profession in theater, and Green's quote implies that she was currently passionate about her dream. Sadly, Holliday had actually taken a tumble down the actions of the club, but Green's quote indicates that she was not discouraged by the event. The Village Vanguard still exists today, and Green's quote functions as a tip of the chance meeting in between him and Holliday, and of Holliday's decision to pursue her dreams.
