Bernadette Peters (b. 28 February 1948) is an American actress, singer, and children's book author.
Child Prodigy
She first appeared on the New York stage at age 10 as Tessie in the New York City Center revival of The Mist Happy Fella (1959). --- Wikipedia
When starting acting as a kid,
Which Bernadette (Miss Peters) did,
One runs the risk of obsolescence
Before one passes adolescence.
But Bernadette, ten years of age,
Appeared upon the New York stage,
(The year was nineteen fifty nine),
And ever since she’s done just fine.

Ambitions
When Peters at the age of ten
First trod the New York City boards,
She dreamed about a future when
She’d act again, and win awards,
And she decided there and then
That this is what she’d work towards.
