Great article! The lady has class.
There's also a fantastic series of interviews with her on YouTube discussing her career.

There was quite a bit of our conversation that I didn't use in the article. Florence and I could have chatted for another hour or so.
Purely by happenstance, she and I were seated across the aisle from each other at Friday night's FANNY. She greeted me so warmly that you would have thought we were friends from 'way back when. We also had a good time backstage after the performance. She's a very lovely lady.

I would love to see her as Dolly Levi.
She's enough of a name.

Posted: 2/7/10 at 3:35pmHer performance in "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire" was amazing, too. She should have received an Oscar nod.

Posted: 2/7/10 at 4:29pmI mentioned this to Florence and she seemed to like the idea. (I refer to it at the end of the article.) Now I'll mention it to Jerry Herman--who owes me a phone call.

Posted: 2/7/10 at 6:44pmBut was she using her Poligrip when she talked to you?

Posted: 2/7/10 at 9:48pmJordan, if you read my article, you would have realized that the product was PoliDENT and Florence stipulated that she would never have to say in a commercial that she used it because she DIDN'T. She told me that she still has her own teeth.

LOL. I hadn't had a chance to read the article yet but I do want to.
Glad she still has her own teeth! :)

Posted: 2/8/10 at 10:55amI think she's make a terrific Dolly. She's got everything the character needs--including an Irish heritage.

Posted: 2/9/10 at 1:34amI would love to see her, Betty White and Cloris Leachman in a vehicle. All bawdy, very funny, ladies when given the chance.
