Hanover was an actress, but from at least this news account, she did not do the "Vagina Monologues".

"Hanover, an actress, has appeared in films including "The People vs. Larry Flynt" and on TV soap operas such as "One Life to Live" and "All My Children." She also is the host of a program on the Food Network, and has done stints as a guest on the television programs "Ally McBeal," "Law and Order" and "The Practice."
Recently Hanover had signed on to be one of three actresses in the saucy play, "The Vagina Monologues." But after Giuliani announced he had cancer, Hanover dropped out, citing "personal family circumstances."
So, she only intended to do "Vagina Monologues" until Ruddy announced he had cancer - and that he was leaving her. Then she changed her plans. How noble.
If Rudy had not developed cancer- the angry wife of the Mayor of NYC (and a candidate for the US Senate) would have been on stage doing an angry Vagina Monologue (which is raunchy BTW not "saucy").
She would have been a great role model for their kids.
I still think there are two sides in every broken marriage and neither spouse was blameless for the loveless marriage between the Giulianis.
