Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.

I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows.

Many years ago, I was in a Broadway show and I had to wear a fox fur around my shoulders. One day my hand touched one of the fox's legs. It seemed to be in two pieces. Then it dawned on me.... her leg had probally been snapped in two by the steel trap that had caught it.

Making lasting gifts for animals in our estate plans is perhaps the single most important thing we can do to ensure animals have the strongest possible voice for their protection.

But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.

In sitcoms, the women are so beautiful, understanding and well-bred. They have humor, but sort of display it with a twinkle of the eye and not a guffaw. But there's no juice in that for me.

At least I'm not playing other people for a change. It's a very odd place to be... I feel I'm an actress who sings a bit.
