Bernadette Peters, Famous Sexy Redhead: Biography with Photos and Videos

I have put together in this series a list (by no means complete) of some of the most influential redheaded comediennes in my life. They've made me laugh. They've stuck in my brain. I think of them often. No one can do what they have done in the way that they've done it. I search out movies and shows that they have been in.

Each series will have a line of hubs, each dedicated to a different Frieda's favorite famous comedienne. And each line with have a feed to the rest them and a matching graphic (redhead, brunette, and blonde).

I sincerely hope that all of you enjoye this series as each hub comes out. Let me know if there are any you're looking forward to. Comments always welcome.

Enjoy.

Feel free to thumbs up any articles from this series you like! Frieda loves it when you let her know you lover her.

Bernadette Peters. Beautiful, sexy, cute, lovely, voice of an angel, fabulous red curls. All her characters on television, in the movies, and on Broadway, braught laughs, and bring laughs, lots of them. She's got comedy down pat. She brings life to the party, you might say.

She is also a great dramatist, as you can see in The Last Best Year, where she plays a cancer victim.

Born in Queens, New York, on February 28, 1948, (Pisces), as Bernadette Lazarra.

Bernadette's acting career began at a very early age. When I say early I mean early. At three years old she was put on the children's television show, Juvenile Jury. She also appeared on Name That Tune, and The Horn and Hardart Children's Hour when she was five years old. Her professional stage debut was on This is Goggle at the age of ten. One could say that entertainment was her life.

Most of us knew bernadette for her quirky but incredible voice, her sweet pouty looks, and her femininity and sass, making us smile at just the sight of her.

Throughout her career she appeared with such stars as The Muppets (yes, I do consider them stars, don't you?), Carol Burnett, Steve Martin, and Burt Reynolds.

• We saw her on our TV's performing in The Muppets,
• The Love Boat,
• Love American Style,
• Maude,
• Saturday Night Live,
• The Carol Burnette Show,
• All in the Family,
• Paradise Lost,
• The Odyssey,,
• Law and Order SVU,
• Will and Grace,
• Boston Legal,
• Grey's Anatimy,
• Ugly Betty (just to name a few).
• We watched her on the Big Screen in The Jerk,
• Silent Movie,
• Annie,
• The Longest Yard,
• Pink Cadillac (again, just to name a few).

She's done voice overs for animated characters, made recordings, been on broadway, written two children's books, starred in major solo concerts, won awards.... The list goes on and on for this busy, miraculous woman.

When we see her, we become happy. She makes us smile. She makes us laugh. We relax into her humour. Bernadette does that for us with the character roles she takes on. Just for us. You. And me.

Up next: Photos and Videos. Enjoy.

Unfortunately the video I had found of Bernadette Peters as Betty Boop is no longer available. It was truly amazing and I highly recommend one and all to try to get a hold of the movie.

If anyone knows of a valid video url they could pass on for the use of this hub, please do let me know. It would be much appreciated.

In the mean time, on to the next clip:

Bernadette has a soft heart, and has done many a benefit in her time. Here's an Easter skit she did with Martin Short on Broadway to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

One of my favorite movies of all times, and definitely my favorite Bernadette Peters movie, is The Jerk, where she plays with leading man Steve Martin.

The following scenes is the funniest, sweetest, loveliest, kookiest love scene in town. I could watch it a million times over and never tire. There has never been a more perfect rendition of this song.  Bernadette Peters and Steve Martin's  voices meld like the waves in the background.  It's truly mesmerizing.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
