For approximately 5 months, Bernadette played one of the Hollywood Blondes (among other small parts) while understudying the role of Dainty June in the second National tour of "Gypsy". She famously met her music director and friend, Marvin Laird, on this tour. The tour starred Mary McCarty as Rose, and opened Sept 14 at the Shubert Theatre in Detroit before moving on to the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia on Nov 13. It also played in Chicago, before closing at the Hanna Theatre in Cleveland on Jan 20, 1962.
