Ugh, I was just at a wedding rehearsal dinner, and came back looking for new posts...

Ignore.

I guess it was dumb to bump this but I happened upon it and thought it was interesting. (and I've always been curious why Buckley's career ended.)

No, it was good to bump it--that's what people are meant to do on here. I think she was just seen as too cold.

(Sorry I implied you were a troll)

I'm glad you survived the rehearsal dinner, Eric.

Hmm... someone predicted that this TV show wouldn't last through one season.

This board is full of experts.

Sure, why not bump outdated and irrelevant six-year old threads?

I actually got excited for a second.

I know it was a load of nonsense, but I actually miss B&S.

Well, first of all... yeah, it's a really old topic, but one I wasn't actually familiar with, which was interesting. But, as a result of reading the thread, I got stuck in one of those wikipedia-type worm-holes; I assume everyone on here knows what I mean. I am now exhausted from learning. That thing about the Sweeney Todd in Texas mentioned here is... ummmm... interesting. How did I miss that? Also, in my searching, I realized I saw a play by the seemingly controversial director of that production of Sweeney in New York a year or two ago, and I was amused to see his lead character's name was Betty. Curious indeed.

I was half awake when I opened this thread. I read the Playbill article and thought "This is the same cast as Brothers and Sisters, that's going to be a confusing show!". Duh!

I'm sure not sure what career of hers ended, like the bumping poster suggests. Her sporadic television appearance career?

In other news, Dick Sargent has replaced Dick York as Darren Stevens.

You mean there were TWO Darrens on that show!! Who knew?

Sad news, Agnes Moorehead has passed away. RIP.

Hey PatrickDennis92...what was the play called where did you see it.

It was called Tricks the Devil Taught Me, and I saw it at the Minetta Lane about a year and a half ago. I went because I LOVE Mary Testa.

Why was she replaced with Judy Kaye in TALES OF THE CITY? I heard that she was not a team player, and Judy Kaye certainly is. I know from personal experience, having done SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM, WINDY CITY, THE MERRY WIDOW and ANNIE GET YOUR GUN with her.

I think Betty Buckley is a fabulous talent, but she is very hard to work with. When she did GYPSY at Paper Mill, there were lots of problems, missing shows, and lots of other things. We would see a lot more of her on Broadway and TV if she was easy to work with.
