(Band of Angels), and Charlton Heston (Ten Commandments). Shifting to television, she starred in “The Munsters,” and then came night club appearances in “Little Me” with Donald O’Connor, followed by numerous teevee guest shots. But, her recent Broadway triumph establishes her firmly as a stage star of the first magnitude. Her vibrant voice belts out the unique lament song written into the show especially for her.
