aww i really loved this article. so sad about the puppy with the messed up nose and eyes. that benefit is remarkable. such a great idea bernadette and mary had for bway barks. and i cant wait to see if thre will be a follow up book!

and the reasons why animals make your life better are all so true. and i didnt even know they lower blood pressure. interesting!!

thanks for posting.

Gotta love Andrew Gans...

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

What a superb interview. It's so interesting when she talks about "crying" after certain scenes in the new production of SITPWG. What struck me most about that was that we're all probably very used to feeling those same emotions - especially "when they all bow to George". It just never ocurred to me that someone who was in the play but had never before sat in the audience and seen the play would find that so remarkable.

I love that she thinks Jenna Russell employs a "cockney" accent as Dot. The accent Jenna uses in SITPWG is a north country accent and is as far removed from cockney as is a New York accent from a Texas accent. But then, Bernadette and British accents are not exactly the best of friends ( just listen to Song & Dance and you'll hear what I mean)

Scottie, I would be willing to venture the guess that most Americans don't pick up on the difference in English accents. Most would probably think there is the typical English accent and then a cockney one. Or for a better description of the American view of the two: proper and lower class.

Oh Bernadette and I took Stella and Kramer for a walk one day and I took a picture of them. I'm such an excellent photographer, aren't I?





Okay, maybe you all didn't find that as funny as I did but it gave me a Friday morning giggle. I found the picture on one of the photo sites along with a couple of others of Bernadette and "the kids" as I heard Patty once call them at a Broadway Barks.

Perhaps, but then most Americans aren't actors.

    Is there a larger version of the pic on the website somewhere? It's so cool.

Maybe for the followup, she could ask Sondheim, Herman, Marvin to each write a little song to accompany the story too. I know she had said something about royalties before, but I think those fellas could donate theirs to the cause and that might add to the sales.

I saw the photos with Stella and Kramer on the Getty Images site. Don't know if they are anywhere else. They are captioned as being from 1995 but we know that can't be corret.

If you go to gettyimages and go to Editorial and look up Bernadette Peters, dogs and go to page two there are great pics of her with Stella and Kramer.
