It is an honor to hear personal stories from these incredible women on their creative process and the shows they have graced. --Daryl Roth For those who are interested in knowing about the inner lives of the great ladies of the theater, this is the book for you. --Graciela Daniele A wonderful collection of interviews that are honest, comprehensive and fascinating.
