Happy Birthday Laurie Metcalf

I wanted to find a pretty picture of her since she always seems to be cast as the homely girl. She's not. She is a little cute actually. Daughters and I got close to her once in New York. She was in the play NOVEMBER on Broadway with Nathan Lane in 2008. I bought the tickets to see this play ... we're more musical fans ..... for Nathan Lane and talked the daughters into going to see it based on that fact. However, Nathan bowed out that matinee in favor of his understudy Richard Kline ... you know .... "Larry" from 3's Co. ......  daughters were like "Who?"!  I felt myself losing the support to see this play fast but turned out it didn't matter. They were more interested in seeing  the scene stealer Laurie Metcalf.

Afterward, daughters wanted to wait  outside the stage door to meet her and they did. She appeared to be a tiny thing and was nice enough to talked to my daughters for a while. The play stunk by the way but, at least we met the best part of it ..... Laurie Metcalf!

    She was too good for that crappy play. What was David Mamet/Broadway thinking?!

I am not a prudey girl but, keep it somewhat clean. Of course, stay on topic unless, "DUH", it is an OPEN post. No threats or disparaging remarks to those that disagree with you. Silly and redundant comments going to a place where the post was not intended will be deleted. Good old "Common Sense" is always welcome!
