Fancy Dress
Friday Quote for the Ages:
"I was doing Night of a Hundred Stars at Radio City Music Hall. We were at the Minskoff Rehearsal Studios. Often, when I would walk through the halls during break, there would be an old guy with gray hair, kneepads around his ankles, all in black, checking me out.
One day, he said hello when I was on my way to the bathroom. I totally snubbed him. Another day, when I was feeling sick and lying on a couch, he walked by and gave me the big 'up and down' with his eyes. I thought, 'I can't believe this guy.'
As he walked away, somebody said, 'Oh, my God. With Fosse checking you out like that, you will be the next Reinking.'
I thought, 'That's Bob Fosse? The guy I have been snubbing the whole time?'
Later, I went to an audition for Sweet Charity. I wore the same leotard I had on the day I found out it was Bob Fosse. There approximately three hundred and fifty girls at the Equity call and three hundred and fifty girls at the non-Equity call. Bob came right up to my face and said, 'Same leotard. Smart.'"
