Judy Kaye has talked about her reluctance to agree to be Madeline Kahn's understudy. It was offered to her three times before a friend persuaded her that she really should take the job. She did not want to become known as a reliable understudy. She was afraid that would be her career. Moore is one of several very good performers who indeed have sort of made careers out of being reliable understudies. Someone who you know will be prepared and ready to go on even in previews and give at least a solid performance. Obviously, a number of people who were understudies did go on to become stars, apart from Shirley MacLaine. Some people do seem to actually like the job.
