Dear Ms. Kaye, you are truly one the great stars of the Broadway stage and I have been able to enjoy many of your performances over the years. You've inspired me as a singer and an actor, which has taken me to some wonderful places in my career, including writing a new Broadway rock musical that is now in development. But it's in another role that I write to you today - I am now hosting an internet-based radio talk show where we not only interview Broadway stars, but also have an active chatroom during the show and take calls from the listeners so that the audience can ask their questions as well. It's what I'm calling my "love letter" to Broadway and my way of connecting the stars with the audience in a talk show format. It's my dream with this show to open up all kinds of new audiences to the Broadway and theatrical community. I've appeared on a number of shows, including the past two seasons on Star Trek Enterprise and as an actor with a musical theater background, I believe I can bring a unique perspective as the talk show host and create a more intimate setting for the interview, which would be done by phone. It would be my absolute HONOR to have you as a guest on my show. We would give you a private phone number to call into the show so that your privacy is completely protected and then we would show our thanks for appearing on the show by giving you an MP3 of the show for you to do with as you please, which would include using it on your website if you would so choose. Like I said, this is my love letter to Broadway, so we're not going for the tough questions on the show. Instead, we want to honor you and your amazing career and boundless talents and let you share the stories that YOU would like to share about the incredible roles that you have played. I was in high school when I saw you play Lilly Garland for the first time and ever since then, you have continued to be one of my absolute favorite performers and HUGE inspiration to me! I do hope you'll consider being on the show and if you would like to be sent a copy of a recent show, we would be more than happy to get that to you. The show is fairly new, and although the first hour of the show is ALWAYS about Broadway, the second hour of the show has expanded to other aspects of the entertainment industry so that I can incorporate some of the incredible people I've worked with in television, movies and music here in Los Angeles, including a recent interview with Michael Westmore, the Academy Award winning makeup designer from every Star Trek series and film for the past 18 years, the Rocky films, Mask, etc. The show has also featured soap opera stars as well that I have worked with here in Los Angeles. So the shows I'd be sending to you would be including those interviews. But the goal and dream is to be primarily interviewing Broadway stars such as yourself. And to have you on my show would be one of the greatest honors I could imagine (well, other than singing with you in a musical or concert some day!!). Please do not hesitate to contact me or to have your publicist contact me if you'd prefer. All my best. Henry Farnam

judy -- are you appearing on 6/29/2005 with the sf symphony in mtt's "thomashevskys"? if yes, we (nora, my wife, and i) are attending the morning's 10am-1pm rehearsal (the evening's one performance was sold out before it was advertised) and would love to have lunch with you afterwards. -- david levine

I saw you for the first time this past week (5/11/05) in NYC with Bruce Adlar. Fantastic performance - what personality and energy you have. I was first introduced to your talents via the audio series for Sue Grafton. Your talent in doing those characters and making them all sound different is phenominal. Then to see this side of you on stage - Lady - you are fantastic. Thank you for making my life at 65 more enjoyable in listening to you and now, watching you on stage. Joni

I have been doing research on Reno Sweeney's and I found you had performed there in the mid 70's. I found it was the "in" place to have been before the doors were closed. Unfortunately this period is prior to the computer age, and there is not a lot of information available. I have even tried the Library of Performing arts at Lincoln Center and have been unsuccessful. On closing night of Reno Sweeney's a lithograph was available to the public, only 1,000 numbered and signed copies were available. The lithograph was done by a known artist named Dennis Abbe, he was commissioned by Reno Sweeney's for the full design, unfortunately he passed on in 1995 and the only information I could find on him is at: www.modernsculpture.com/artdecoglass.htm To make a long story short, I have two lithographs available for sale in wonderful condition. My Aunt, a true New Yorker had purchased them on closing night and wants to make them available to the performers who have fond memories of that time era before they go up for auction to the general public. It would be an honor to receive any input from you on your memories there, and if interested give you an opportunity to acquire some nostalgia from your past. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Deborah Heede Helokidies@msn.com 973-450-0880

Well, I just realized I put my comments in your guestbook for all to see, so there's no remaining anonymous! Eeek! However, I would tell Matthew the same thing if he asked me. At any rate, I hope to see all of you again some time. - Carol
