I read Elaine Stritch: The End of Pretend" by John Bell, and its like he recorded every moment of their meetings. It's kinda creepy and I can't believe Stritch would have ok'd this book....
After having seen the wonderful production of 42nd Street on Great Performances, I went back to the OBC recording of 42nd STREET and was reminded of how bad Tammy Grimes sang the role of Dorothy Brock.
Everyone else was wonderful, but to me she was all wrong for the role....
Hope that the West End production makes a transfer to Bway!
