Penny Fuller

Born in Durham , North Carolina , Fuller attended Northwestern University in Illinois . She then went to New York City to make a name for herself on Broadway . Debuting in '' The Moon Besieged '' ( 1962 ), she later appeared as a replacement in the original productions of '' Barefoot In The Park '' ( 1963 ) and '' Cabaret '' ( 1966 ).

After a handful of Shakespearean productions, Fuller won critical plaudits on Broadway for her portrayal of the outwardly sweet but inwardly subversive Eve Harrington in '' Applause '' ( 1970 - 1972 ), the musical version of '' All About Eve '' with Lauren Bacall as Margo Channing. Her last Broadway musical (to date) was Richard Rodgers ' 1976 flop about Henry VIII , '' Rex '', in which she appeared opposite Nicol Williamson and Glenn Close . (She has continued to work in musicals, however, including the original production of William Finn 's '' A New Brain '' and a 1999 revival of Rodgers' '' Do I Hear A Waltz? '' at New Jersey's George Street Playhouse .) Recent years have found Miss Fuller back on Broadway, in the original productions of Wendy Wasserstein 's '' An American Daughter '' (1997) and Neil Simon 's '' The Dinner Party '' (2000); she was Tony-nominated for the latter. Off-Broadway appearances have included '' Three Viewings '' (1995) and Nicky Silver 's unsettling '' Beautiful Child ''.
