A supporting actress in this movie appeared in the film version of a Tony award-winning musical. Only she and one other performer were not members of the original Broadway cast.

And then the clue is Tracie Thoms from Rent.
And I guess in a way both Hathaway and Streep first appeared on TV.
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Yes indeedy do. (’Cept I’m not sure about Streep on TV; I was thinking about Hathaway in the short-lived FOX series “Get Real.”)

Melville gets the correct Win.
Hope it’s wasn’t inappropriate to say “its genre is not comedy” as it’s certainly high ’50s and pretty campy to watch now. And I say that loving it.

shoot, that’s correct Wind
