| My parents saw her there. I remember my mother saw a tiny ad or notice, probably the Times,and they were thrilled that one of their favorite Broadway stars from their young married days was appearing. After that show, they followed her constantly, and I was lucky enough to tag along for many evenings at swell clubs. I'll never forget one night at Michaels Pub. My dad was pretty recognizable - he covered every role Stubby Kaye ever played, if that gives you a visual - so Barbara knew him by sight. The spot followed her as she sidled over to our table, where she referenced his frequent attendance by flirtily asking him "So, are we dating?" He got a kiss, and a memory for life, and I couldn't have loved her more. |
