I love that she has a "crazy clause" named after her in AEA production contracts.
That's my goal in life.
I think we have a new inductee to the skank tank.
Doodlenyc: I would not be surprised if Faith Dane DID create her own "stage business" for the original production of GYPSY. After all, she did come from the world of Burlesque where she was a stripper. I would love to see any correspondence she had with David Merrick, the "Abominable Showman". And the information about the Faith Dane Clause in Equity contracts is fascinating.
How many Mazeppa threads are there now?
Finally we know what happened to "Baby Jane".

Apparently, her attorney is unaware of the authenticity exception of the anti-discrimination legislation which pretty much exempts the entertainment industry.
Maybe there's something wrong with her bumper.
A broken hip maybe?

If by "American Way" you mean someone who too GD lazy to make there own living and has to waste the time of the court, then, yes, I agree with you.
Everyday, I'm proven correct that Americans are fat, lazy, a-holes.

What a piece of work.
Where is Faith Dane these days? What was the outcome of this lawsuit?
This is the best thread today!! I LOVE this woman. Why isn't this a THS - True Hollywood Story on E!)?
I think the funniest part is suing 'essentially the director' since the decision is up to him, who is 92 for age discrimination.

Wow, that is so ridiculous. I'm SURE her illness has to do with not being cast, not her old age.

Her lawyer should be disbarred. The casting of theater, movies, tv, etc. falls under an exception in anti-discrimination laws. Though I am sure the complaint and supporting papers offer some kind of entertainment in their own right!
Wow, does she really think she was the first person to bend over and blow their own horn?
The first time I saw the movie she frightened me (in a good way).

THANK YOU!
TheaterDiva, you are my new hero, so help me! :)
Who's bumping all these old threads?
No one else has come close to matching her.
