"Maybe she can take over for Lauren Ambrose on Sundays."
She might consider taking over for Diana Rigg, although the idea of her taking over for anybody seems far-fetched.
Julie made the decision to leave Broadway for Hollywood when she was still very young. She only returned, thirty years later, because her husband wanted to produce a musical and needed her name to get it off the ground. She did it for him, and it resulted in her voice being dama
What is believed to be true is that Barbra's having been asked to join the Academy despite the fact that she'd only shot one film, due to the fact that she was already a bona fide superstar thanks to Broadway, her recordings and her TV specials, ended up earning her an Oscar -- assuming, of course, that she voted for herself.
^ Surprised to read this, I must admit. Sienna was so bland as Sally it was almost as though the show didn't have one. Her singing and dancing were passable, but nothing -- nothing -- made you look at her as opposed to the ensemble.

Her book scenes were fi
