Petula Clark is a British woman attempting a New York accent in this production.
We assume that Norma Desmond was raised in New York.
Petula was 63 or 64 in this performance. I hope I have that much talent and guts at that age.

I used to work in the Adelphi Theatre in London in 1996-7, Petula sang this song every night and a couple of matinees a week.....she was and still is simply a brilliant singer/actress. Her performance was always stunning.

Oh, I'm so jealous. That must have been sublime!! You didn't take any photies did you? Please, please, please....

Bravo miss clark.this version is brilliant!

@carwyncymru I feel bad because I'm not a fan of Patti at the role she originated. But I do agree, this doesn't do it for me. My personal favorite is Diahann Carroll.

I wondered also how Petula Clark would interpret this role. No one could ever had rendered a better performance than Gloria Swanson however, I've got to say Clark gives a distinct and clear impression of a silent era actress. The way she's made up, her gestures, the way she sings this song all seem to go together and give a very clear impression of a Norma Desmond. I think Clark has succeeded very well here.

It is a marvellous song and Petula does it great justice. All other versions have sonething differfent to offer. I applaud them all especially if they are sincerely produced....

I agree with guts. Good grief, she looks 90. But what a voice! It's a little low...the key I mean. Is she still around? Shirley'Bassey's "anti" ego.

@voldicomrigeorge Yes, she just turned 79. I saw her live in Paris a few weeks ago, singing superbly.

i'm really sorry. but as open as i am to all interprations of every actress, and as many time as i have watched petula, for me, she doesn't do it, i respect everyone who loves her, and i reasect Miss Clarke as a singer, but as norma for me its a no. hope u don't hate me
