So happy that Patti and Glenn had a rapprochement

I was a big fan of Carole Demas on Magic Garden as a child, but... I don't really see her in the same league as a Patti LuPone, to be honest.

That's fine, but that wasn't my point. In reality at that point in time LuPone really was unknown, Carole Demas wasn't, she already had GREASE under her belt and visibility on THE MAGIC GARDEN people knew or had an inkling of who she was because of that.

I'm not trying to pit them against each other. My post wasn't about that.

I wouldn't throw a pity party for Miss Demas. Sure LuPone has gone on to major theater stardom but Demas is very talented and well respected in the theater community and she has had her share of successes...her rendition of "Meadowlark" is beautiful. Again, not comparing or inviting comparisons to LuPone's version.

Patti had no right to be mad at Glenn. If I were Glenn I would have ignored that venomous cow. Patti owes apologies to A LOT of people. She can start.

"If I were Glenn I would have ignored that venomous cow."

You let your personal biases and anger get in the way of appreciating a lovely story or redemption and forgiveness.

How sad that is.

"A lovely story of redemption and forgiveness"

This made me laugh my ass off. You make it sound like the civil war. Seeing Patti chirp, "Me and Glenn Close made up" sounds so foolish. Patti constructed this issue with Glenn out of her insane ego. Patti's feelings towards ALW are justified. Her feelings towards Glenn were immature at best, especially as she explains it in her memoir (which I read).

Such a "Patti Party!"

I love what Glenn said to her (at least according to Patti in that clip):

"There is everything to say and nothing to say."

That's Glenn's way of saying "you made a big deal out of nothing and I'm not apologizing." Glenn is a class act. I'm glad this statement allowed Patti to move on.

I am shocked at the vitriol and cynicism directed at this wonderful story.

I suppose I shouldn't be. I'm reminded of what Sharon Tate said about Ted Casablanca in Valley of the Dolls. You guys just can't help it!

WOW! You've got some nerve, haven't you?

Ignore them, ABitonTheSide. They have what you call "LuPone derangement syndrome". A very odd affliction shared by a bunch of bitter old... folks.

As per usual, the Patti police are out in full force. I eagerly await the threatening messages.

I would never threaten anyone, doll. I love Patti. These people who are so angry and vitriolic about her I will NEVER understand. Like, I'm not that big a fan of Liza but you won't find me calling her a cow or any number of horrible things that are said about Patti.

I have to chalk it up to jealousy. She is the most talented Broadway performer of our generation, and some people can't handle that.

Oh I want to make it clear that I found the sentence funny and not that the phrase "venomous cow" was being used to describe Patti LuPone. I happen to like Patti LuPone very much...flaws and all.

I think part of it is that Patti wears everything on her sleeve. I promise you that most any actress in her position is as insecure and "difficult" as she is, but most hide it better. With Patti what ya see is what ya get.

Also, I think there is a certain type of shallow theater fan who gets a kick out of making fun of Patti's unconventional appearance. I happen to think she's beautiful, in her own way, and her talent certainly is beautiful.

"As per usual, the Patti police are out in full force. I eagerly await the threatening messages."

Because it doesn't matter where, on TB or here or any other Broadway oriented website, any time Patti LuPone's name is mentioned, people like you have to interject with your venom when nobody asked your opinion. So yah, you dish it, you better f'ing take it like a champ. Go ahead, keep talking trash, you'll get it all right back. That's the American way.

I can handle a disagreement. We all have different opinions. It's cool. However, in the past I've gotten threatening contacts from the "Patti Police", as I call them.

I love Patti as a performer, as a person she is often rude. I like when people justify her rude behavior by saying "she pulls no punches" or "says it like it is". Whatevs-to each their own.

Team Close.

Well I would never threaten anyone over anything, let alone things said on a message board.

But, you see, the beauty part is that there IS no more "Team Close". Or "Team Patti". They've made up!
