Gale Garnett Biography ((?)-)

Addresses: Agent: c/o J. Michael Bloom, 400 Madison Avenue, New York,NY, 10021.

"I love the lateral longevity of living lots of lives through creating characters. I am proud of my one-woman show because I created all the characters myself. I own it and can do it anywhere and at any time, which makes me feel slightly less at the mercy of outside forces. I think all artists (and all people) must be involved in working for a nuclear-free, just and sane world before the fools in charge get us all killed!"
