I, an unwavering admirer of this remarkable actress, first witnessed her extraordinary talent on Broadway during the 1966 production of Fiddler on the Roof. Over the decades, she graced the stage with her presence in numerous iconic roles. The magic of her performance alongside Bette Midler in the 1973 concert production earned her a distinguished Tony Award. And in 2017, I was blown away as I watched her claim the esteemed Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Musical for her breathtaking portrayal in Hello, Dolly!
