There's actually a wonderful youtube video of her talking about the role and then singing the song and she's marvelous (even while forgetting the lyrics). <br /><br />I agree that the role needs someone with gravitas, but does Carrie sing? Bebe would be able to nail the song,and she has been around for quite a while. In recent productions, Carlotta has been an old old-timer but I think it works better with someone a bit younger, though still distinguished. Gives her a bit of kick I think.<br /><br />Nice Monty Clift icon btw.

Now that the show has become a period-piece-within-a-period-piece, there's no actress who can sing "In the Depression, was I depressed?/Nowhere near/I met a financier and I'm here" with the same meta resonance, but you definitely need someone with Hollywood/Broadway pedigree and longevity. I think Carrie Fisher would be a hoot.<br /><br />DeCarlo was only 48 when <i>Follies</i> opened, but she had lived quite a life. Of course, age 48 in 1971 was the equivalent of age 65 in 2010 (whether you bathe in the blood of virgins or not).<br /><br />(Oh, and I just have a weakness for Len Cariou--in any role.

Need Jamie Lee Curtis, Carrie Fisher or Bebe Neuwirth as Carlotta ("I'm Still Here"). Interesting tidbit: The original Sally, Dorothy Collins, and the original Carlotta, Yvonne DeCarlo, were both over ten years younger than Peters when they created the roles in the 1971 production.<br /><br />- I loved Heigl on <i>Roswell</i> and I would have liked her more on <i>Grey's</i> if Shonda's writing style didn't make almost every character (especially Izzy) insufferable. Have never seen a single one of her movies.<br /><br />- I'm predicting Moss for the win (but I'm scared of <i>The Good Wife</i>).Paul Outlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223551781533342142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-18815392856961461402010-08-26T22:54:46.415-04:002010-08-26T22:54:46.415-04:00Len Cariou on the original Night Music soundtrack ...Len Cariou on the original Night Music soundtrack is GORGEOUS, but I don't know if I buy him in the other work he's done with Sondheim.

And Panjabi and Baranski too since they 1) will probably split votes, 2) they are not strong enough competitors to win and 3) the series is all about Margulies. <br /><br />Moss and Gless are the only real opponents to Hendricks. Gless is a veteran and her nomination came out of nowhere - and this category loves to bring up surprises. I hope that doesn't happen. Of course Moss would be the most likely winner since she was graceful enough to drop to supporting and her episode choice is very good but Hendricks has a lot of good will and industry adulation going for her at the moment. And that sometimes helps winning.Jorge Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773926428295140628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-18408803833485990322010-08-26T15:28:36.677-04:002010-08-26T15:28:36.677-04:00Taylor -- if i had the cash i would GLADLY go see ...Taylor -- if i had the cash i would GLADLY go see her again.
