As far as I'm concerned, she is one of the greatest character actresses in the history of musical theatre. Even when the material is flawed, she elevates it to something Tony-worthy (like in My Favorite Year or Young Frankenstein). Hell, she won a Tony for a role that is onstage for about 15 minutes (Pippin). And who didn't love her in the film My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I really need to read her memoir book...
She's such an inspiration to me- I had the pleasure of meeting and telling her so this year.
Me: If I were doing Pippin NOW, I'd still get cast as Berthe.
Andrea (laughing heartily): Well, there are worse ways to make a career!
