Bebe Neuwirth

I am such a fan of Bebe Neuwirth! Does anyone know what she's like in person? I've met her twice. The first time she was really sweet and the second she was really really mean. I wondered if she was just having a bad day or if it was usual for her to be like that.

Twice she was nice, the rest of the time she was bitchy.

She comes off as a very private person. I found her to be exceedingly nice on the two occasions that I've met her.

HERE LIES JENNY is brilliant. I saw it three times in NY. She and Ute Lemper are really the foremost Weill interpreters around.

God, I hope so!

You definitly should, the show was amazing and so is Bebe. I was most amazed from her dancing there are so many times during Here Lies Jenny that she does things that left me wondering "How the hell did she do that?" She has such grace and complete control over her body. There were times where it looked like she was flying. It is a truly amazing experience.

she is a delightful actress and obviously a wonderful dancer (not a shabby singer either.) Her personality has interested me for quite a while. WHen she won her FIrst Emmy for playing on CHEERS she accepted the EMMY graciously, and more than once said that she was "very flattered." Very flattered? I wish she had chosen words that were, perhaps, a bit more effusive or something. She was MUCH more excited and emotional when she won her Tonys than when she accepted either of her Emmys. I was delighted that she spoke about Chita Rivera's influence on her and Chita's creation of the role of Velma in CHICAGO when Neuwirth accepted her second Tony, this time for CHICAGO. She had previously won the supporting Tony for the revival of SWEET CHARITY. She was rather extraordinary as Sheila in A CHORUS LINE too.

She gets angry when you tell her she's too pale

Rath, thanks for jogging my memory. I do recall her talking about her New York folks encouraging her to work with the California folks; and that she would return to Broadway as a known star and that then, when she returned to television, she would be "Broadway royalty," and so on. :)

She is SO tiny. When she danced next to Karen Ziemba, who is a size SIX, she made KZ look enormous!

Karen's also quite a bit taller.

Not a fan of her singing, but I could watch her dance all day long.

I would've killed to have seen her Sheila...
