Patti LuPone's husband recently convinced her to ride the NYC subway.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Thanks Melissa. It's ridiculous that Photobucket now offers 3rd party pics to be posted on websites for almost $400 a year.

In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Did she really need convincing? Seems like most people who are afraid of the subway are people who think it’s still the 1970s in New York. Patti should know better.

As any New Yorker would tell you you're better off in a crowded or at least well populated car than a near empty one like this. And I would not have recognized her.
Oh, you young ones. Patti is a diehard New York supporter and even has spoken openly her dislike of all the gentrification the city has gone thru in the past few decades. She misses the old gritty New York, when to her, the city had its character.
Like all New Yorkers, she's not new to subways. I'm sure in the past few years she hasn't had to use them as she doesn't live in the city anymore but she's no stranger to subways.
This obviously was a random moment to which you all are reading into way too much. All New Yorkers, rich or not, take the subway frequently. Why? Its the quickest way to get around the city during heavy traffic hours. No one is immune to NYC traffic, no matter how rich you are.
If you come upon an empty car, especially any time during regular traveling hours, there’s a reason it’s empty. And there’s usually a potent smell leftover from whatever that reason is.
And another chance for you to bitch about Patti. Cause I’m sure Glenn Close loves riding the Subway...
There are many reasons to hate riding the Subway other than being spoiled and rich. I hate being underground and in packed spaces." Mildred, I know the feeling all too well. I recently had an MRi. Not a great feeling being in an enclosed chamber.

I had an MRI recently, too. I had to Xanax up for it, but was surprised how much it didn’t bother me. Maybe it was the Xanax. Maybe it was the headphones they gave me that played showtunes.
I use the subway almost every day. In spite of the complaints (often warranred, it's still the fastest way to get most places. Certainly faster than driving. And I feel safe at all hours but yes I feel more comfy in numbers.
