Any favorite performances from her ? She won her Tonys for Sweet Charity and No No Nanette but starred in 21 Broadway productions."

As in Ryan’s Hope Helen Gallagher? G-d bless her, I had no idea she was still alive.

She did not win a Tony for Sweet Charity…she lost to Bea Arthur. I THINK she won for Hazel Flagg, but could be wrong, since it was a flop.

Very talented. Did she not become a star because her first big starring role was a flop or was she missing something. She always elevated every show she was in.

She was by far the best musical theater teacher I ever had. Worked with her in the early 90s at HB Studios. She was simply wonderful!!!!
