Valerie Harper Stars In Broadway's New Comedy 'Looped'

The laughter started the moment actress Valerie Harper hit the stage and didn't stop until the curtain call. I had the chance to see Valerie Harper in her juicy, new role on Broadway last night, and the way the audience responded to her role as Tallulah Bankhead, in the new play LOOPED at the Lyceum Theatre. This morning we spoke in the greenroom here at WPIX before her interview, and she is simply a class act: fun, energetic and fabulous to be around.

If you aren't familiar with Tallulah Bankhead, here is a little background on the show if you are thinking about going to see it. I highly recommend you grab some tickets before they are all sold out!

Based on a real event, LOOPED takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead stumbles into a sound studio to rerecord (or 'loop') one line of dialogue for her last movie --Die, Die, My Darling. Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today's celebrity bad girls. Given her intoxicated state and inability to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor, Danny Miller, and the outrageous legend.
