- Summary
- Actress and singer Barbara Cook discusses her career with Newsday critic Linda Winer. Cook first came to prominence in 1956 after creating the role of Cunegonde in Candide, and then "Marian the Librarian" in The music man the following year, establishing herself as one of the Broadway's leading ingenues. She left the theater in the 1960s and reemerged in 1975 as a leading cabaret and concert singer. Cook speaks about her voice and her objectives as a vocalist; her view of her cabaret work; the loss she experienced at the death of her accompanist Wally Harper; her feelings about being labeled a Broadway "ingenue"; her mid-career retirement, brought on by a personal problem; and her plans for future shows.
