MICHAEL ALLINSON IN THE BACKGROUND AND ANITA GILLETTE IN THE FOREGROUND.
Eliza (My Fair Lady) is my favorite role of everything I’ve done. The book was straight Shaw and the incredible score Lerner and Loewe PLUS I had Michael Allinson ( Rex Harrison’s standby) as Higgins! He taught me everything he had learned at RADA! That’s how I became an actress and not just a singer. He was as tough on me as HIggins was with Eliza and I adored him. What a lucky girl I was!
