Carole Shelley

Upon her return to the Broadway production, Wicked's original Madame Morrible, Carole Shelley, talks about whether she's hissed as a villain by fans on the street; explains how a childhood incident almost kept her off the musical stage; recalls her "trifecta of success" in The Odd Couple, appearing in the Broadway, film and TV versions; remembers an agent who wanted to steer her away from appearing in The Elephant Man; and reflects on her only two appearances on the English stage since she emigrated to New York over forty years ago.

Original air date - September 14, 2007
