Movie Musical Divas Tournament: Semifinals

Bernadette Peters (1948- ): Annie (1986) Lily St. Regis | Pennies From Heaven (1981) Eileen | Sunday in the Park with George (1986) Dot/Marie | Into the Woods (1992) The Witch | Cinderella (1997) Stepmother Additional musical/singing roles include: Silent Movie (1976), The Jerk (1979)

"Broadway Diva Tournament runner-up, Bernadette Peters is THE living Diva of movie and stage musicals. At three years old, I saw this little redheaded bitch of a stepmother in Cinderella and decided, yeah, that's the blueprint. And it was. I proceeded to fall in love with Broadway Divas in movie musicals for the next few decades. She made me a lesbian. Seventy-six years old and still performing sold-out concerts in gorgeous Bob Mackie gowns with her titties on display. Legend." - @droughtofapathy

Julie Andrews (1935- ): Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins (1964) | Maria in The Sound of Music (1965) | Victoria Grant in Victor/Victoria (1982) | Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) Additional musical/singing roles include: Cinderella (1957), Star! (1968), Darling Lili (1970),

"The QUEEN of the movie musical. Started in so many long lasting favorites. Dressed in drag in Victor/Victoria, thanked the casting director of My Fair Lady in her Oscar Acceptance speech for snubbing her for the role so that she could win an Oscar instead. The voice of so many people’s childhoods and genuinely such an amazing person. Look up the story about her Tony nomination!" - @kingscatt

Julie Andrews:

"The woman so talented Walt Disney was willing to wait. Saying Julie Andrews is immensely talented is about as non-controversial as it gets, but the level of talent she possesses is almost too much to process. Seriously, the way she effortlessly blends singing, dancing, and acting to create nuances in her performances is beyond the beyond. It’s cliche, but she really is practically perfect in every way." - anonymous

"You gotta be original, because if you're like someone else, what do they need you for?"

At the age of nine, Bernadette Lazzara from Queens, New York obtained her Actors Equity Card in the name "Bernadette Peters" to avoid ethnic stereotyping, with the stage name taken from her bread delivery truck driver father's first name. Steve Martin and Peters were in a personal relationship during production of "The Jerk" (1979). The part where Navin licks Marie's face during their first date was completely improvised. Peters' reaction was genuine. Martin's favorite moment of the film, as he detailed in his 2007 memoir "Born Standing Up," was the scene in which he and Peters sing "Tonight You Belong to Me." Martin felt the moment was touching, and waited in anticipation at the film's premiere screening in St. Louis. Unfortunately, much of the audience left during the scene to buy more popcorn. Peters won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for "Pennies From Heaven" (1981, below), also starring Martin. Of her performance, John DiLeo wrote that she "is not only poignant as you'd expect but has a surprising inner strength." Pauline Kael wrote in "The New Yorker": "Peters is mysteriously right in every nuance." Kael further noted that "the dance numbers are funny, amazing, and beautiful all at once; several of them are just about perfection." Martin was offered the role of Rooster in "Annie" (1982). He turned it down when he heard he would be working alongside Peters. They were breaking up at the time, and Martin felt it would be too painful to work with her for several months.

[lesbiancolumbo]

Last night I was watching D&D pundit Matt Colville on twitch and for some reason he decided to spend half an hour talking about/showing clips from Pennies From Heaven (1981), which is (as I probably don’t have to tell you) an incredibly strange and depressing musical starring a young Steve Martin fresh off his stand-up career. I was very, very normal about it

AND I LOVE THAT FOR YOU!!!!!!

i've heard good things about pennies from heaven but haven't seen it yet, i'm sure aino and i will get around to it as our martinsquest progresses, but i'm ngl it pleases me to no end that that was a topic of conversation. i feel like when we talk about steve, that's not a movie that comes up very often, but i really love the concept of it, and i love how much of steve's early career is dedicated to paying homage to/making fun of the classics. steve's love of cinema is apparent and it makes me smile.

"jessica "suspiria" harper is the lovely alto-voiced star of two great and weird cult horror musicals, entering into a faustian bargain with a satanic paul williams (playing very against type this is the man who wrote rainbow connection) in brian de palma's phantom of the paradise, and replacing susan sarandon as janet in the (very loose) rocky horror sequel shock treatment. she's great! she's also in the depression-era musical pennies from heaven with bernadette peters and steve martin." - anonymous

A sheet-music salesman’s life spirals out of control during the Great Depression, but that doesn’t stop him from daydreaming about a better life through song. A film noir plot dressed up as a big, Busby Berkeley-style musical comedy, this remake of a British tv series was a massive box-office bomb, but has become a cult favorite.

Starring Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Jessica Harper, and Christopher Walken. Written by Dennis Potter. Directed by Herbert Ross.
