She has played the teasing Faye Greener in The Day of the Locust, the honky-tonk waitress Rayette Dipesto in Five Easy Pieces, the low-down and libidinous Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby...

Young women crowded the lobby of the Mini Rex Theater every matinee to see Brigitte Bardot in Boulevard du Rhum. Roving photographers armed with Polaroid cameras still tried to hustle a few piasters out of foreign correspondents they mistook for tourists. The piaster rate, perhaps the best war barometer in town, shot up from...

The Confiteor section provided outstanding examples of subtle, directional phrasing. The male solos were similarly convincing. Tenor Frank Hoffmeister and Bass David Evitts showed clearly why they are two of the busiest free-lancers around.
