Happy Hump Day, all!
BK, I, too, really loved reading your Bacall story. I always love hearing about those diva myths being dispelled, and about how gracious and kind people of her ilk could be. I'm sure she was a terror with people who deserved it and sadly, those are the ones who start the diva rumors.
I got to meet Bob Fosse in an actual private invited group audition. I had no business being there with my early dance skills, but a couple of us, in a moment of emboldened madness, slid our pictures under the door at the Minskoff Studios where he was working on the choreography for "Dancin'". We were both shocked at being called in to audition. I didn't do badly, but I certainly was not up to his standards, and he could not have been kinder, even shaking my hand and thanking me for coming in before I left.
