Bernadette Peters is an actress, singer, and dancer. She gets the best roles on Broadway in any show she feels like starring in. Her usual film role is a light-headed ditz, rather like many of Madeleine Kahn's parts, but like the late Ms. Kahn, those are just blow-off turns for a major talent.
She's very pretty, too, especially for a lady in her 50's.
heh - thanks.
