I've been lucky enough to play some funny, nasty ladies in my day, and if you can make them foolish, they're even funnier.
One of the greatest pleasures of working on shows is that I enjoy watching the actors - who are all younger than me now - and their careers. I love seeing how they're doing and seeing them getting good gigs and doing well.
It's always a thrill to walk through a Broadway stage door.
As much as I love to dance, and I still take class, aerobics and that sort of thing, and I still move very well and all of that - I'm really not a dancer anymore.
