1. is PIPPIN, the character of Fastrada. But was she the original? or just in the one with William Katt, i believe in DC at the KennCenter?

the original might have been Leland Palmer, also seen in ALL THAT JAZZ basically playing Gwen Verdon.

1. An emperor's second wife

I think that's "Fastrada" in Pippin.
