Cocktails with Betty Buckley, Cat School Graduate!
With a steely voice and the will to match, the brilliant Betty Buckley has been at the top of our wish list since we started \u201cCocktails at Table 7\u201d. This week we finally got the chance to talk to her, and it was everything we hoped for (so much so, that we had to split this conversation into two episodes!) In part one, we cover Betty\u2019s Broadway debut in \u201c1776\u201d alongside a few theater heavyweights who found her Texas moxie and desire to learn irresistible. We got the inside scoop on her time in Hollywood working on projects as divergent as Brian dePalma's screen version of Stephen King's Carrie and the seminal 1970\u2019s family drama Eight is Enough. Finally, we learned how her commitment to study, including time spent in \u201ccat school\u201d, helped cement Betty\u2019s status as a Broadway icon.
