Karen Ziemba Appreciation - Update — Page 5

And I wanted to be the 100th post...alright, I will settle for 101.

Oh I missed you Jaily! (But let's not spoil the Karen love...)

Jaily!! Welcome to the Karen love...

---

I knew I liked you for a reason, Jaily! Love is her legs, indeed.

Married for 21 years to the handsome and charming Bill Tatum. They have no children together, but she is close to her step-son, the handsome and charming Will Tatum. Also a very cute dog named MacDuff. Bill and Karen live in a lovely co-op on the upper West Side, and have a vacation home on the Jersy shore that's a converted boathouse. Bill is an actor who used to be a regualr on a soap opera. Now he mostly does stage work. He also enjoys golf. Bill and Karen met dong an Equity Library Theatre production of the musical SEESAW. He was the lead, she was in the chorus. He was married at the time, and, according to her, she resisted the attraction and they didn't get involved until he was divorced.

For lots of good stuff, check out her website..
Karen's site

Her mother's maiden name, and much more, can be found in the book BROADWAY STORIES, by Marty Bell, where she is the subject of an entire chapter called "Leading Lady".

Amusing anecdotes about her sex life can be found in the October 1984 issue of PLAYBOY.

That is the best picture I have ever seen in my entire life.

I think I might have to have a Ziemba moment to cheer myself up since that sick mofo Michael Jackson is a free man.

*bump* for the Playbill article

Well, hopefully someone will go and report back.

Without taking time to re-read BROADWAY STORIES, I seem to recall that Ziemba is of German origin.


By the way, for a while in the early 1990's- at least when she did WORLD GOES ROUND, Karen had them put the little "accent mark" over the "E" in Ziemba in playbills, posters, etc. I guess so folks would jknow it was "Zee-EM-ba" as opposed to "ZEEM-ba" or "ZIME-ba"

Perhaps they should have put that little accent on the Tony nomination teleprompter to help out Mr. Joel last year.
