Kathryn Crosby from "The Melody Lingers On"

The show, being presented at the El Portal theater in North Hollywood, is a well sung and danced revue of Irving Berlin songs, sort of on the line of And the World Goes Round (Kander & Ebb) or Showtune (Jerry Herman). Kathryn Crosby, whose extensive plastic surgery makes her face look truly frightening (she's had her eyes done since the above picture, so the whites above the iris are constanly exposed--scary!), narrates as Berlin's daughter. While casting Mrs. Crosby may have made sense due to the Crosby/Berlin connection (White Christmas), seeing someone with this almost non-human face is disturbing and runs counter to the show's future success.
