Bebe Neuwirth: Look, you guys, you guys are freaks, man. I'm not Lilith, I'm Bebe. I'm an actress. I sing. I'm a Broadway dancer. Look
at these pins. You know any 40-year-olds who can wrap their legs around their necks? Look, these babies worked for me before
Frasier, they're gonna work for me afterwards. So don't you worry about Lilith.
Karen: You mean Bebe.
Bebe: No, I mean Lilith. I want to play that bitch forever!... Frasier is such an easy gig, man! They fly you first class to Los Angeles, put you up in the Bel Air Hotel, per diem. I deliver several lines in a robotic monotone and I'm buyin' a new Lexus!
Beatrice "Bebe" Neuwirth has been around Hollywood and Broadway awhile.
Trained as a dancer, Neuwirth made her New York debut in
A Chorus Line and later won awards for her roles in revivals of
Sweet Charity and
Chicago. It helped that she had previously worked with
Bob Fosse.
However, most of the world knows her as Dr. Lilith Sternin of
Cheers fame. Some might also know her as
Determinator EADA Tracey Kibre of the
short-lived Law & Order: Trial by Jury.
She is currently headlining
The Addams Family Musical on Broadway as Morticia Addams, opposite Nathan Lane, and will remain in the role until March of 2011 at least.
Despite her
age, she has no reservations on
donning lingerie - or leotards - for her roles. And her father was a professor at Princeton —
all this and brains too! And
gams of course.
