Nancy Walker Naked Onstage

Nancy Walker appeared in countless Broadway shows, but never naked. However, there was one occasion in which she did so. Read the story here:

Because he is hurting you how, exactly?

Frankly, Norman's blog posts are lot more interesting to me than (a) the sight lines from the boxes in such-and-such theater; (b) wildly inaccurate predictions of Tony nominations; and (c) "What's a good audition song for a baritone?"

But I don't tell posters to shut up. I just don't click on those threads.

See how easy that is?

People can post what they want but it really makes someone wonder the motivation to write a blog post about a nude appearance of an actress who's been dead for 27 years. Has there been a tidal wave building that I'm not aware of, of frustrated theater goers miserable cause they never got to see her ta-tas uncovered on stage and are desperate to know if after all these years there is any place else they can finally see them. It feels like lusting after nude pictures of someone's grandma. Just because there are loads of other dumb threads on this board doesn't make this one any less creepy.

Rather, the tale is about the sort of temperament that separates a star from a member of the ensemble. Beverly Sills used to tell a similar story about how early in her career she was making her debut at one of the major opera houses and the costumer put her in a color (GOLD, I think) that clashed with her red hair. She explained the problem nicely and everyone told her to be a good girl and run along. She brought up the issue several times--to no avail.So she took a pair of scissors and cut herdress made from spun gold into little pieces. It cost the company hundreds of dollars (back when tickets were $5 or something), butshe finally got the SILVER dress that complimented her hair.

Thatwas when Sills said she learned that a little temperament was required to be a successful diva.

No nudity, but basically the same story. And the Walker version actually has a punchline."

If that's the tone of the story, great. I might have selected a different title than "Nancy Walker Naked Onstage" and been a little clearer in the brief paragraph that accompanies the link, but that's just me.

Actually this isn't a bad idea to create a musical about Nancy Walker. She's a Broadway legend. Something similar can be done about her like they did for Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. Just think, young and not so attractive Jewish girl makes it big on Broadway. Any young composer/lyricists out there interested?
