Betty Lynn putting a cold and selfish spin on the typically loud and brassy Rose -- LOVE this performance. And I'm obsessed with her pelvic thrusting after "Mama's gonna show it to ya!" She was SO original in this. Laurents just hated it because he didn't get to cast/direct it.
No copyright infringement intended. I didn't film this. For entertainment purposes only.
I think Betty and Bernadette play the role with true emotion, while most others use it as an excuse to belt fortissimo.

All of my Roses are wonderful in there own ways. But Betty has the the best Tits and Ass for the character. I love Youtube.

@DivaBehavior Just saw this.... you'd be correct many years ago, maybe a couple of decades. :) Nowadays, with DVDs, Bluerays and HD Live transmissions, opera acting must be as realistic as musical theater.

I took a class with her as well around 1993-94.
She is a great performer. I did not dig the meditation
and she knew it. She let me take a pass on the meditation.

@dellor123 Youre very right about her being very introspective. I took an acting class with her teaching and she is VERY into meditating and finding the source etc inwardly.

what a voice! great singing, but she could have been dramatic in the monolog. rose's desperate and out of her mind when she starts rose's turn. but it was pretty to be seen and way better than rosalyn russel (or however its written)
