Bernadette Peters went on with the show this weekend. — Page 2

God damn! Singing "No One is Alone" and "Time Heals Everything" just 3 weeks after loosing your husband must be so tough. This woman is resiliant!

This is so sad. Im still praying for her. I can't believe she did Roses Turn! I feel like standing up in my room right now by myself and giving her a standing O.

If it is at all possible for other people to learn by example, I wish for anyone who tends toward self-consumption, egotism or sense of entitlement to pay very close attention to this amazing woman. Brava, Ms. Peters, and may you have felt even a little bit of the love, respect and support that you so obviously deserve.

Wow. She is an amazing woman. She really went above and beyond.

"she carries herself as she has lived her life with such flawless style & class"

I certainly thought that she demonstrated a great deal of class and grace under pressure during the whole Gypsy thing. At least publicly, she never came off as bitter or angry over any of the negativity surrounding her casting. She doesn’t seem to go around bad mouthing people she’s worked with, she donates her time and personal memorabilia to charitable causes, and in interviews she’s upbeat and focused on finding the positive aspects of her experiences which is why it seems particularly cruel for something like this to happen her.

A few months ago I heard her talking to Jonathan Schwartz on his radio program. At one point they were talking about her husband and I thought she spoke of him with such fondness and admiration, saying how he was inherently musical, had taught himself to play an instrument when he was younger, and that he could draw really well but would deny being able to do any of these things. I think she said he loved Sondheim’s music too. Throughout the program, they played musical selections that were meaningful to Bernadette and closed the show with some Irish music that had been played at her wedding. She said they had seen the movie Cold Comfort Farm and wanted their wedding to be like the one in the film. It was a sweet, joyful way to end the broadcast, one that seemed to capture the spirit of the guest that afternoon.

BSoBW2..

I got your anecdote immediately and it was perfectly fine on this thread.

I am sorry but Dame and that other person must have ridden the short bus to school if they weren't able to understand the point of your story. It was a sweet little side note in favor of Bernadette. What didn't they get??

Don't ever apologize. You can say whatever you want.

Peace, sweetie...

D.

Di2;
There you go again trying to turn this into a nasty thread. If you would pay attention you would see that the poster updated his post. He had not originally written Bernadettes name on it.. so we all thought he was just talking about Eden.

Back to Bernadette..
I forgot I have that Jonathan Schwartz interview. I will re-listen to it tonight.

you turned it that way Dame...she was telling a sweet story and you busted on her..you always have to bust on everyone..don't you?

I'm so glad to hear Bernadette is beginning to heal. Brava to her!

DAME..

you are 100% class..

I wish I was exactly like you..

Better I start a whole other thread, sue?

I was just wondering...as I don't think it is very true at all.

just standing up for BSoBW2's quip..

no one should have to apologize for anything on a message board.

BWW has "cops" that immediately dog you if you write anything that they don't agree with, feel is appropriate, etc etc...

ridiculous.

No, it is not Bernadette.
