You Must Love Her

At this point in my celebrity stalking career, it takes A LOT to intimidate me out of asking a celebrity for a photo, but you guys have NO IDEA how apprehensive I was approaching Broadway legend (and Corky's mom) Patti LuPone for this photo.  With two Grammys and two Tonys to her credit, and a resume that includes originating the role of Eva Perón in Evita on Broadway, Fantine in the original London cast of Les Misérables, Norma Desmond in the original London production of Sunset Boulevard and Rose in the Broadway revival of Gypsy, Patti is known for belting out songs in ALL CAPS, giving her unfiltered thoughts during interviews and stopping the show to call out rude tricks for texting or taking pictures during performances. In short, she scares the shit out of me!  But June is gay pride month, so I summoned my inner queen and gingerly approached, and I'm pleased to report that La Patti could not have been nicer!
