I played for Bernadette Peters' show this weekend...
She is fabulousness personified. And she's such a little thing...I had always pictured her as statuesque. I guess it's because her personality is so enormous!

2. She's 61...Unbelieveable!
She doesn't look like she's had plastic surgery, either.


This is the dress she wore last night.

10. Holy freaking cow.
:wow:

One hell of a singer, actress and show-woman. I suspect that the only reason she's not a mega star because she spent the overwhelming majority of her career on the stage.

3. She's one of my very very favorites!
I'll never forget her as the Witch in "Into the Woods" She does Sondheim better than anyone IMO.

4. She's a treasure, that one! Never got the acclaim she deserves.
But, America doesn't like talent.

America only likes idols.

12. But maybe she's gotten all the acclaim she wants...
I think she's into it for the art more than the acclaim, though she accepts recognition gracefully.

She's not hurting financially. And those who go to see her are doing so because she's a wonderful entertainer...not because it's on the Top 40 To Do List.

5. She's dreamy
I'd like to cuddle with her and have her sing me lullabies.
John
Glad to hear you had a good time. I hope to see her live someday.

11. I still remember her singing "Making Love Alone" on SNL 20+ years ago.
Eternal Hottie.
