Someone has posted the Oscar ceremony where Bernadette opened the show by singing a variation of "Putting it Together." What an honor that must have been for her. My favorite part is the little yell she lets out when watching the stuntman fall from a building.

Did Peters, whose character is a Broadway baby transplanted to Ireland, have any qualms about playing a lesbian, even in a family-friendly movie? "I was more nervous about playing Jewish," she notes, adding her trademark giggle. "And having to be an actress who read Chekhov."---this just cracks me up

The only thing that sucks about that clip is that whomever posted it cut off about the first 3-4 minutes of it. You really need to see the first part of the song when she is recording it in the recording studio to fully appreciate it. Hopefully someone will post the full number one day.
"Particular mention must be made of Bernadette Peters, who turns up briefly in a sort of sparkly Glinda the Good costume. She's the reluctant muse sent to help Alice with her writing. The muse is dressed like Oz, sounds like Queens and behaves like a bored student adviser." Alice Film Review, The New York Times, December 25, 1990
"I'm one star away from Dolly Parton ... and Raymond Massey is between us. I hope we don't suffocate him." Bernadette Peters receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, April 24, 1987

Yes, moljul. You are absolutely right on that one. That was one of the best parts, plus it makes a little more sense with the beginning section.
