Minnie of Ceremonies

.
I finished it over a week ago but I keep forgetting to share the indisputable "aimed directly at my interests" highlight of Joel Grey's most excellent memoir Master of Ceremonies - the news that Cabaret director Bob Fosse's first choice for the role that won Grey the Tony for his stage interpretation and eventually won him an Oscar was Rosemary's Baby star Ruth Gordon. RUTH GORDON!!! Can you even imagine? I mean clearly Grey owns the role and he will forever, but what I would give to see an alternate timeline version starring RUTH GORDON. Blows my mind, that thought. You can read more about this specific story over here. Amazing, amazing.
