Landau plays basketball with Wood, son of Larry and Cindy Wood, and his friends Brad Goforth and David Brinkley when he visits Dale and Vera Becker in the Gold Run community. After the Oscars Landau sent an autographed picture of himself with Lane and Goforth with the caption, "Oscar Winner Martin Landau and Gretchen Becker pre- sent basketball to all star Lane Wood."
