While a broadway legend, Patti Lupone has had some hilarious TV guest roles. Which is your favorite?
Whether it is Fraiser's Aunt Zora on Frasier, or Mama Weiner on Ugly Betty or perhaps her most famous, herself on Will and Grace which do you htink was the most memorable?

Will & Grace.

Every time I see her @ the stage door I chicken out of saying SHUT UP PATTI LUPONE!

'Oz'! My answer to any "favourite television" question will always be 'Oz', as long as I can justify it somehow. They must REALLY have been aiming that show at gay men as opposed to any other audience, what with all the buff naked guys and all the theatre divas. I did like Betty Buckley better, but it definitely tickled me NO end that Patti showed up. XD

LBJ was actually a legit good movie.


oh, and Tom Fontana, the creator of Oz, is actually her cousin.

Assuming we're disqualifying musical TV performances (like the Tony's), I'll go with "Will and Grace."

I thought she was hysterical--and a great sport.

Her turn as a defense attorney on Law and Order was great, I don't remember her character's name. I loved watching her go up against Jack McCoy!
