Donna Murphy (That comes as a great shock, I'm sure.)

Hi Shawn,

If you'd like to journey over to the Off-Topic board, we have a thread devoted to Ms. Ziemba.

I think I'm gonna go with Elaine Stritch, but I have a list of very close seconds.

Well, the one star I love who has been doing the most BWay stuff - and is oldest - is Alix Korey.

I'll go with Maggie Smith - who, unlike all these others mentioned so far, really IS a Dame.

Good point, Dgrant.

I'd like to change my answer to Dame Judi Dench...

Quite a username you've got there.

Donna Murphy, Does Audra count as a Dame? She is married. And, oh yes, as someone mentioned Maggie Smith.

I kinda like our DAME here at BWW.

Sorry, kids, but Broadway only has one Dame: Vanessa Redgrave.

[Corine2]

Posted: 6/13/05 at 10:25pm

Lynn is my favorite Redgrave.
She is so friendly.
What a peach!

Lynn is wonderful. Go see "The Constant Wife". She is divine.
But Vanessa---SHE is truly a Dame in every sense of the word. Natasha is certainly a Dame in training.
