Patti LuPone CBS Interview

An interview with Patti LuPone on CBS.

[@Mangalaiii]

"an actor who sings" PERIOD.

[@SweetAngelOfMusic94]

"...it is an Italian face". I'm so glad she said that! I'm Italian too and it's beautiful to know that an Italian could be a star on Broadway... She's my idol!

[@MikkoHere]

And don’t forget Bernadette Peters (born Lazzaro) who is also 100% Italian 😌

[@babsbestinhistory]

One of the most amazing musical theatre performers that ever lived. She has been described as bitchy but you have to be strong to get ahead in this business. I HATE THE TERM BITCHY. Being a strong woman doesn't mean you are a bitch. It just means you are determined to succeed at any cost and if people got burned along the way then it just goes to show Patti's strength. It is a cut throat business and you have to have to have this incredible desire to make it.She did and WOW.

[@johndalton3180]

The greatest performer I've ever seen on stage. Up there with the all time Broadway greats.

[@rsjury]

Her greatest talent is she is a great role model of someone who can be strong, caring and talented. We need more like her, not just for woman but for everyone. I have nothing but admiration for her contribution to the human spirit.

[@zebrastreet9993]

Role models should have more tact and class and humility. All things this woman is severely lacking. We don’t need more mean-spirited narcissists in the world. We have enough of them including her.

[@billleach8930]

Zebra Street Please provide specific examples of her lacking class, tact and humility. Something tells me you are just one of those haters who will be hard-pressed to come up them.

[@Etheline]

=) I just love Italian faces and Italians and Italy in general. I am glad that Patti has Italian roots!

[@FreedomKat]

The best belter of our time! I love her!

[@crazyking1325]

It's hard to hate Patti "I play it because it's SEXY" XD

[@TrekkieCSI101]

I love her honesty and the incredible grace she has. She is the most genuine, incredible actress I know of, and I love her. To heaven and back, Patti. You're fabulous.

[@Tinymoezzy]

OH WOW she is so amazing. i wish i could see her live. ALL THE BEST TO YOU PATTI!

[@amymiller8964]

What a national treasure!! Love her!!

[@broadway0987]

ugh i just love her!

[@violetcloud6517]

i love her.

[@tallulah2]

Argh, I just love her so much.

[@tiger38able]

I loved her in Penny Dreadful! I didnt know she was a broadway singer till today!

[@NessaSpring]

The fact that you even watch these videos makes you even more awesome! haha

[@HaunaMyKiki]

lmao "I play it cause it's SEXY" love Lupone =D

[@buzzaki]

Gawd but I love her.

[@jbeaupre1800]

Saw it three times!

[@MissPerriwinkle]

the world looves patti !

[@zebrastreet9993]

Nope not everyone

[@WhitneyStrouth]

Thanks a bunch!! :D

[@Tinymoezzy]

i am shocked that some one would ever pass her over for a role like that.... she would be fit too match i think. Oh well yes she is talent and i am sure she is fine now but i would loved to have seen her in Sunset Boulevard . The woman has class crass and crazy wonderful talent flowing from her.

[@MikuMochi]

Sunset Boulevard was a musical she did way back when. Completely underrated, I think it's one of her best musicals! Andrew Lloyd Webber stuff.

[@vintageglam521]

it's Break A Leg, Mom. it's my favorite!! haha

[@jeffreycarder]

I'm sorry if 33 thousand other people replied already. I just actually know this one! It is from an episode of "Life Goes On" in which Patti's character, Libby I think her name was, performs in a community theater's community review. Sorry, I don't know the name of the episode.

[@broadwaymike92]

Patti LuPone and Idina Menzel are two of the best Broadway Belting Divas from Long Island!!

[@s.c.paulson6797]

Idina Menzel is no Patti LuPone

[@morgan8757]

she was very on life goes on

[@kimyo-jong9356]

MY DIAMOND💛🔶💎

[@valleyguy1123]

Broadway > The World

[@ez88uc]

Icon.

[@hefinrosser8685]

I've never heard elaine paige complain about playing EVITA it would be interesting to here the comparison of the original EVITA to the complaints of the Broadway EVITA

[@feeltheillinois]

LOLLL "she's a real bitch.. gimme a chance :( "

[@Marx-XIII]

I play it because it’s SEXY

[@fontenayperi]

Anne Hathaway should play her role in a LuPone biopic. the resemblance is uncanny

[@fontenayperi]

***** that's true!

[@FredHerrman]

fontenayperi That’s a really good observation. They do look alike. Not sure that Hathaway has those kind of pipes for singing. But she could do the acting role.

[@richardmayora6974]

Get your eyes checked.

[@allenn.3909]

@@richardmayora6974 look at old photos. Trust me I never would've seen any sort of resemblance until I saw in photos from the early 70s

[@fontenayperi]

in what occasion did you meet her?

[@johnkellett2669]

If it wasn't for Patti LuPone I wouldn't have spent hours upon hours of researching Evita Duarte' De Peron', her entire life, and her political career.....Don't get me wrong I'm not for a Dictatorship nor a Totalitarian Government but Sorry Evita was not a Bitch she was like any other Woman protecting and defending her man or husband....Some people still to this day say she hasn't done a thing for her Country and her people but that's not true, but then again I'm seeing the harshness and cruelty against a man in this country, saying he hasn't done anything for this country either.....

[@constablelocke]

To be fair, Glenn Close was VERY good you can you tube her as Norma- see 4 urself. But Patti is definitely unique.

[@ZANIMusic]

WHO CAME FOR YELLOW DIAMOND!!!!

[@AjayPooranMarc]

MEEEE

[@maerspublicarchive9383]

patti lupone is MUCH more than just yellow diamond

[@less01]

He was not a dictator!!!!!

[@fountainchain126]

Whats the song at 1:41

[@hesseltjeb]

anything goes

[@RR-wr7zg]

what's the song at 1:29...??? 😍😍

[@tallulah2]

비락 I think it's the prelude to Gershwin's The Man I Love

[@DavidJones-mo9jc]

비락 Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry. It's on a Sinatra album from his Nelson Riddle period. This is only the second time I've heard it sung.

[@Maskphan1]

Yeah, I didn't get the nose...but I got the lips. I'm a guy. You don't know how much crap I get for having bigger lips than most girls.

[@hefinrosser8685]

1989? Get the facts right!!

[@leleco520]

look how her name shows....(pOtti) HEUheuHEUHeuhuE (brazil)

[@melfortune5855]

"an actor who can sing" she's fabulous but I think of her as the opposite.

[@MaleOrderBride]

I don't understand why Patti says she was devastated by not playing "Sunset Boulevard" on Broadway? I mean, she got to play the part in London?! It's not like she never got a turn! I think she is being a bit dramatic saying she had to stop working for a year and see a psychiatrist?! Think of all the stuggling actors who never even get a walk-on cameo!

[@downtown82]

It’s nice to perform in London or Australia but it really matters if you are on Broadway or not. Patti had a contract for a run in London and on Broadway. She was working her ass off to prepare herself for Broadway and heard she was fired in a New York newspaper column. They never told her (and her castmates) they were fired. Also, she has been a working actor since she graduated so a working life is her normal. You can’t compare her with out of work actors.

[@zebrastreet9993]

The reviews of her and the west end production weren’t kind. She was fired and denied the move to Broadway. It was very public and embarrassing, and when the show was retooled a bit and Betty Buckley took over the lead, the reviews were very positive. Then came the casting of Glenn Close for the Broadway version. It was all very humiliating for her, and with an ego the size of hers it is no wonder she had psych problems as a result. Unfortunately it didn’t teach her much in the way of humility. She became even more bitter and mean.

[@MaleOrderBride]

@@zebrastreet9993 she does have an ego, yes!!

[@teeniebeenie8774]

omg such dumb questions......ugh

[@rititiize]

I don't know why she calls Juan Perón or Eva Perón fascists. They were not fascists. It shocks me how someone who did a play telling the story of Evita Perón says so calmly she was fascist. A little bit of history knowledge would make this interview more bearable to watch.

[@JaredGoerke]

Actually they were facist leaders. They didnt always act like complete assholes but they were technically facist leaders.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Peron was a great admirer of Mussolini, who was fascist, and Peron implemented a regime that squashed any and all opposition.

[@destinyymurrayy6424]

They were fascist and nazi sympathizers

[@wadecatt9543]

Never could stand this lady if you can call her that. Her ego is far greater than any talent she ever had and when she said all that crap about Madonna it just made her look like a witch. Only a jealous person would come out and knock someone else's work. You don't have to be conceded and arrogant to be successful and obviously she does not get that.

[@Strode78]

When your ego is bigger than your talent you might have a few fans but most ppl will see you for what you are or what you're not. Never cared for her attitude or her singing. Too pretentious.
