One of the most joyous gigs was dressing Tony Award Winner Judith Light in LOMBARDI at the Circle in the Square. She was nominated for her performance in this wonderful show. This is a little tribute to her. Enjoy!

| Dressing American astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, in a real space suit shipped from NASA for an appearance on the David Letterman Show. I'm wearing the dark, striped shirt and am being assisted by fellow dresser, Grant Barrett as Supervisor Kelly Saxon looks on. We were determined not to slice off the nose of an American hero! After the shot, when we had undressed him from the suit, he turned to Grant and me and said, "You were the replica of authenticity!" We had encased him in that space gear exactly as NASA technicians had done for his actual flight into space! |

| Opening night of SHE LOVES ME with Tommy Femia as Judy Garland and Lauren Bacall as Lauren Bacall. |

 |
| I think Judy hit a nerve! But, truly, Lauren Bacall was super sweet through the whole thing. |
