Betty Buckley (#267) - May, 2010
While appearing the new comedy “White's Lies”, Betty Buckley (1983 Tony Award winner for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical for “Cats”) talks about the career that has taken her from Texas to New York to London and back many times over. She discusses why she chose to play her current supporting role in an Off-Broadway comedy by a first-time writer for her first stage role in New York in seven years; how being discovered while still a Texas teen led to her Broadway debut, fresh off the bus, as Martha Jefferson in “1776” -- and what it was like to be one of only two women in a cast of 30 men; how she quickly followed that debut with her West End debut in the leading role of “Promises, Promises”; the professional challenges she faced in even getting seen for a role in “Pippin”, where she ultimately replaced Jill Clayburgh; her bi-coastal stints in “I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It On The Road”; how she convinced Trevor Nunn that she should play Grizabella in “Cats” and when she realized that the role wasn't really very big; what it was like to appear in the solo musical "Tell Me On a Sunday" as part of “Song and Dance”; the circumstances surrounding her succeeding Barbara Cook in the role of Margaret White in the now-legendary musical “Carrie” -- and why she believe the show should have gone the “Rocky Horror” route; why she considers Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard” to have been her most fulfilling acting challenge; her affinity for the role of Mama Rose in “Gypsy” and the main reason that her performance was never seen in New York; and why she has taken so enthusiastically to Twitter.
