Bernadette Peters (b. 28 February 1948) is an American actress, singer, and children's book author.
A Composer Knows
Sondheim has said of Peters, "Like very few others, she sings and acts at the same time," he says. "Most performers act and then sing, act and then sing ... Bernadette is flawless as far as I'm concerned. I can't think of anything negative." -- Wikipedia
A composer, sans gauges or meters,
Can distinguish the echt from the cheaters,
And Sondheim avers
That perfection occurs
In redoubtable Bernadette Peters.
