Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

I find acting quite painful. I don't really want to strip away my innermost feelings. I don't want to be pained on stage -- I want to have a good time. But if I decide to do something, I somehow always manage to get it down -- whatever it is, to understand the inner working of it. I don't mean to sound pompous, but I can't give myself permission to do things badly. See more »

Trivia:

Understudied Gwen Verdon for the title role in the 1966 New York production of "Sweet Charity" and took over for Gwen when she left the show. See more »
