I loved her so much in A Parallelogram. Which I liked more than either The Pain and the Itch or Clybourne Park. But most of all I loved Gillette. What a performance.
The only other thing in which I've seen her was 70, Girls, 70, and like others (including PlayWiz) it seemed so clear that she should have been playing the leading role. That was a big mistake on Encores! part, thinking they needed a bigger name.
I'm so sorry that I didn't see her in Rich and Famous, a play for which I have great fondness but which didn't especially interest me at the time.
I'm another of the people who used to think of her — like Peggy Cass, Phyllis Newman, Arlene Francis and some others — as less of an actress than a sort of New York celebrity who sometimes acted, just because I first really knew of her from her game-show appearances. I soon found out that she was also an actress but somehow I never saw her in anything, which I now regret because she clearly possesses a very special talent. |
