Carol was an absolute delight to

work with on "Moon Over Buffalo"

I taught her to palm a dagger as

she made the grand overhand throw

aiming at Phil Bosco as he walked

upstage right towards an exit

A remoted matching dagger popped

out of the gorgeous Bob Mackie

cape he wore which I have here

I also have the dagger that has

a jeweled back end as it fitted

in her cleavage as a brooch

On an early preview performance

when we had a major automation

disaster (not mine) she went out

in front of the curtain & did a

twenty minute question & answer

The audience groaned when the

performance resumed
