My last gig was dressing Tony-nominated actress Judith Light in LOMBARDI at the Circle in the Square. This is a little tribute to her. Enjoy!

| Dressing American astronaut Buzz Aldrin in an real space suit shipped from NASA for an appearance on the David Letterman Show. I'm wearing the dark shirt, and am being assisted by fellow dresser, Grant Barrett. We were determined not to slice off the nose of an American hero. After the shot, when we had undressed him from the suit, he turned to Grant and I and said, "You were the replica of authenticity." We had encased him in that space gear exactly as NASA technicians had for his actual flight into space! |

 |
| I think Judy hit a nerve! But, truly, Lauren Bacall was super sweet through the whole thing. |
