American actress
Born: February 28, 1948
Bernadette Peters is an American actress, singer, and children’s book author who is famous as one of Broadway’s biggest stars. Working successfully on musical theatre, television, films, and music for nearly six decades, she has been described as “an ageless storybook princess.” She is particularly known for working on the musicals by legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, according to whom she is a rare artist who “sings and acts at the same time.” However, it was not originally her idea to be in show business; her mother played a huge part in making Peters an all-American star. Much of her career was built upon the ambitions of her mother, who enrolled her daughters in acting, singing, and dancing classes and took them to auditions when they were very young. Eventually, she won two “Tony Awards,” three “Drama Desk Awards,” one “Golden Globe Award,” and four “Grammy Awards” as part of her Broadway cast. She became the youngest performer to be inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame. She also has six solo albums and performs regularly in her solo concerts.
