When I saw Follies at the KC, she was wearing a turban at the stage door and in this photos she is too -- anyone know what the reasoning is?

thx.

Elias wears a wig in the show. When she takes off her pin curls and wig cap after a performance, her hair is left rather unkempt, so she prefers to wear a turban to cover it up until she gets home.

The end.

I heard she has a dark wizard residing on the back of her head.

Fun fact: Terri White's "Lord, lord, lord" at the end of "Who's That Woman?" is actually referring to Rosalind by her given name, the Dark Lord.

Speaking of turbans, does everyone know the story about Ethel Merman and Benay Venuta?

Ethel and Benay were going out after a peformance of "Gypsy" one evening. Benay went to Ethel's dressing room where she saw her struggling with a turban on her head, pulling locks of hair out from underneath it with a rat-tail comb.

Benay went over to her and said, "Oh, Ethel, that's not how you wear a turban. Let me show you," and she started trying to push the strands of hair back up under the turban.

Ethel pushed her hands away and shouted at her, "F*ck you, Benay! I need a little softness around my face."

Liz Taylor, like Roz Elias, is also a member of the Two Turban Troupe.

She could use a little bedazzling on that turban though.

I have worked with Rosalind and she has been wearing turbans for years! She doesn't like her wig hair!

I love turbans, and I agree with Rosalind.

I think I'm going to start wearing one right now. To hell with haircuts, and combings, and brushings, and stylings.

Relatives coming over?

Turban it!

Photo op?

Turban it!

Going out to the store?

Turban it!

The theatre?

Turban it?

Wow - didn't think the thread would go this far LOL!!



and, fyi, I wasn't judging her based on her turban -- was just curious.

In all honesty, I thought it was an odd question.

But if not for this thread, this notification from the Follies Facebook page wouldn't have made me laugh like it did.

PS - It was all I could do on Facebook to NOT reply, "You rockin that turban, Roz!"

Among a number of my friends, "F*ck you, Benay" said at random times always gets a laugh.
