Ridiculous fun chatting with Lainie Kazan at Connie Stevens house... what? I know! Lainie talked growing up in Brooklyn, Erasmaus High with Barbara, who she would soon understudy in Funny Girl, and is that a fabulous and ultimately funny story... starting out as a dancer, then singer, first acting experience was at camp, where her drama counselor was... wait for it... Anne Bancroft. Hello? A few years later, she and fellow Hofstra pal, Francis Ford Coppola would be the girls and boys drama counselors, respectively... there's lots about Francis, who remains beloved, Michelle Lee, friends since girlhood, nightclubbing... Dean Martin, Sinatra, and oh boy is that a story! Posing innocently, nightclubbing again, running her own club... the rough years... really rough... Francis coming to her rescue, my favorite movie, My Favorite Year, meeting Peter O'Toole, great story! Producer, Mel Brooks, changing her life... Joe Bologna, and Renee Taylor, lifelong friends, that unforgettable episode of the Nanny... being a mom, and a grandma, how she got My Fat Big Fat Greek Wedding, and unexpectedly scored huge. Animated, fun, funny, passionate, warm, there aren't enough adjectives in my vocab to paint the picture of this adored conversation. I LOVE HER
