Today in history...

See: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/68049.html for more, but one year ago today DRS opened with Joanna and the original cast.

Interesting to note that according to that link, Andre was originally played by Paul Jbara.

I wonder if he's at all related to that Greg guy.

i slept in the office of the theatre school after the 2 classes i taught finished up. so no golden slippers were purchased.

i willn't give up

has anyone seen "Crimes and Misdemeanors" ?

i bet she is a beautiful friend

her comedic value is done with grace and style which is why i love her work...and when she wants to be, she can just be sooo easily loved by an audience...she is such a loveable character!

is she in "Hannah and Her Sisters" or did I just make that up?

Joanna was in that movie. She played Carol, and it might have been her first role on the silver screen. I'm not sure about this. IMDB and JoannaGleason.com both list this as her first file movie appearance, but some of Joanna's early playbills lists this other movie, I can't remember the name of it right now. I'll look it up then.

Gotta jet - the netflix gods just brought us the Tracy Takes On that has Joanna in it. I have never seen this one, and it's getting harder and harder now to track down the things she was in that I haven't seen.

I think the holy grail of Joanna appearances would be to get copies of her show "Personal Side" as this wasn't on broadcast TV and at a time when most home viewers didn't have video tape recording devices.

She's leaving at the end of April. I guess her understudy is doing the show until Lucie starts?
