| Beanie's childhood dream of starring in FUNNY GIRL on Broadway was never refined over the years to include the responsibilities, priorities, work ethic, training, stamina, dedication and inbred talent attached to fulfilling that dream eight times a week for a year. She fed into the fantasies of the next generation of performers that the road to Broadway stardom is easy. Her demands were unprecedented. Who ever heard of a star asking in advance for a four-day leave-of-absence -- for any reason! -- five days after opening night? That the producers agreed was folly and makes me wonder about stars' demands in the future. Please keep in mind that there are endless examples of stars, present and past, who personify professionalism at the highest level. Let's be grateful to them and bid Beanie farewell. |
