GLADYS WALTON

BROADWAY MUSICALS

  Although Gladys loved being a Hollywood Star, she delighted in performing in Broadway musicals and comedies.  Her eyes would glisten with excitement as she fervently tried to portray that unbelievable feeling that came from the reactions of a live audience.

  “ John, it’s almost impossible to describe the feeling.  The theater had a life of its own driven by the pulse of the audience as they quietly tapped their feet to the music or leaned forward in anticipation of the next line.  The riotous laughter echoing throughout that enormous space, and the thunderous applause as they rose to their feet—it filled my heart in a way that no studio filming ever could.”
