She was one of the most underrated stars of the 20th century theater. You can't watch her stuff and remain straight-faced. Real gift for comedy. And man, what a voice. She's probably best known as being the original Miss Hannigan in Annie. Also did Sweeney Todd, Ballroom, some others. Ironically two of her best performances came late in life. First was a medley of two Sondehim classics, "Losing My Mind" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy." Next is "Fifty Percent" from Ballroom. This is from the early 2000s; she had been diagnosed with cancer and made this her final public performance. Really just heartbreaking, especially when you listen to the lyrics. Losing/You Could Fifty Percent
