They bridged the distance with heartfelt letters, witty notes, and even voice recordings—capturing not only their abiding love but also the triumphs and struggles of two working actors navigating the 20th-century stage and screen.
Their partnership was both tender and tempestuous: candid confessionals, moments of doubt, and unshakable loyalty woven into a narrative as dramatic as any play they performed.

Merely Players: The Scripts - from performances by Barry Morse.
Barry Morse's tour de force one-man stage show examines the lives of a series of actors and others from Elizabethan times up to the present. From moving and heartfelt to comedic, Merely Players literally runs the gamut of human emotion. It also includes several vignettes from the life and career of "mere player" himself, Barry Morse.
Morse debuted Merely Players on stage in 1959 for the first time in Boston, later performing the show in New York in 1965 and other cities for various causes, including local and repertory theater companies in the U.S. and Canada.
Merely Players in its most recognizable form coalesced in 1986 when Barry embarked on a nationwide tour of Canada to raise publicity and funds for the Performing Arts Lodges of Canada.
In the 1990s and into the 2000s, Barry performed the show on a number of occasions to raise both funds and awareness for several Parkinson's disease treatment and research organizations, The Royal Theatrical Fund, and other causes.
"Held his listeners spellbound... a great raconteur."
-Victoria, B.C. Times
"Delicious... delightfully informal...
a wonderfully generous performance."
- London, Ontario Free Press
"A winner... Master raconteur...
Player Morse is merely masterly."
—The Toronto Sun
"Engrossing and richly rewarding... A labor of love, put together by a consummate actor... in every way, a remarkable performance."
—The Boston Globe

Barry Morse had a remarkable career spanning seven decades in the entertainment industry. With more than 3,000 roles across radio, stage, film, and television, he was known for his versatility and talent.
Born in London, England, Barry Morse began his career with performances as a boy soprano on BBC radio in the late 1920s. As a boy scout, he also acted in a number of amateur plays and productions in London's East End as a child. But it was as a 15-year old school dropout and errand boy that he won a full scholarship to the famed Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
Famed actress Dame Sybil Thorndike was one of several notables who reviewed his audition and later told Barry that they had found his presentation to be "curiously touching." At the time, he was the youngest student ever to enter the Royal Academy. At RADA he played the title role of King Henry V, a Royal Command Performance for their majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, patrons of the Academy, and also won their coveted radio-acting award.
Barry followed with runs in London's West End and in theatrical productions throughout the United Kingdom, as well as appearing on the BBC's earliest live television broadcasts beginning in 1937. Barry made his West End debut in a play called School for Slavery, and with Crisis in Heaven directed by John Gielgud. He continued working in the West End and throughout England, including The Assassin by Irwin Shaw, in which he created the leading role and received great critical acclaim. He started his movie career playing stooge to the wry and dyspeptic comedian Will Hay in The Goose Steps Out.
Barry married actress Sydney Sturgess on March 26, 1939 after a two month courtship following their introduction while working together in a repertory theatre company in Peterborough, England. They relocated to Canada in 1951, working in live theatre and on CBC Radio, as well as acting in the premiere television broadcasts of CBC Television from Montreal.
When the fledgling Canadian television service started regular broadcasting from their new radio and television headquarters in Toronto, they settled there, and Barry devoted time to performing and producing the landmark half-hour CBC Radio series, A Touch of Greasepaint and later, Barry Morse Presents on television, among others. Greasepaint, which ran for 14 years, explored the experience of actors through the ages and served as a rough draft for his touring one-man show, Merely Players. Barry is a five-time winner of Canada's Best Television Actor award.
His theatrical background is extensive, including work in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. He has performed on Broadway in Hide and Seek, Salad Days, and the lead of Frederick William Rolfe in Hadrian VII for six months. He directed the historic Broadway debut of Staircase starring Eli Wallach and Milo O'Shea, which stands as Broadway's first depiction of homosexual men in a serious way. Other notable stage productions include Sleuth, Man and Superman, The Caretaker, and The Voice of the Turtle. In his lifetime, Barry performed every play of William Shakespeare and all of the plays of George Bernard Shaw; he also served as Artistic Director of the famed Shaw Festival of Canada.
Barry was probably best known to the public around the world for his television roles as "Lt. Philip Gerard" in The Fugitive with David Janssen and later in the syndicated series Space: 1999 as "Professor Victor Bergman" with Barbara Bain and Martin Landau. His other series starring roles included The Adventurer and The Zoo Gang. He also appeared in some of the most popular miniseries presentations of the day, including The Martian Chronicles, Whoops Apocalypse, Sadat, The Winds of War, War and Remembrance, Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story, and more. His final TV miniseries project was Icon starring Patrick Swayze, based on the best-selling book by Frederick Forsyth.
Beginning in 1984, he traveled the English-speaking world performing his one-man show Merely Players; vignettes of actors from Elizabethan times to the present. His final major stage performances were in Bernard and Bosie: A Most Unlikely Friendship, Contact, and a run of Merely Players in London.
Barry, throughout his long life, supported a broad range of charitable organizations. These included the Performing Arts Lodges of Canada, the Royal Theatrical Fund, the London Shakespeare Workout Prison Project, Actors' Fund of Canada, The Samaritans, and BookPALS.
However, the Parkinson's cause held a special place in Barry's heart - his wife of more than 60 years, Sydney, was diagnosed and ultimately succumbed to Parkinson's disease after a 14 year battle. For the last two decades of his life he worked tirelessly in the USA, Canada, and the UK to raise both funds and awareness of the disease.
Barry Morse died at the age of 89 following a short illness on February 2, 2008 in London, UK.
"In a lifetime of pulling faces and making noises for a living, I've come to believe that despite all the cliches and the fallacies written and spoken about our trade, there really is no business like show business." -Barry Morse
