Gwen Verdon interviewed by Rian Keating, 1983 Public Access

Gwen Verdon answered the phone when I called number for Nicole Fosse in the Manhattan phone directory. When I explained what I wanted, she very politely said no, but reconsidered when I said But Spotlight! was a poor man's Dick Cavett show without the self-referential narcissism and you-can-talk-about-anything you-want!" It was then she agreed to an interview, so she could discuss the psychological issues facing actors trying to balance family life. She asked what she should wear and I said not black or white, but what could I say when she walked in and saw how tongue-tied and young I was? She was extremely kind and this would have been at any age. Turn up the sound because there has been a lot of deterioration on the VHS.
