Academy Award-winning actress Goldie Hawn was the latest guest plucked from the audience for an on-stage improvised interview with celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick in Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me at the Friday, December 1st 8:00 p.m. performance. Fame Becomes Me plays at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th St).
Known to the world for her star turn in a string of successful film comedies in the 70's, 80's and 90's including Private Benjamin, Foul Play and Bird on a Wire, Hawn won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Cactus Flower. Other memorable films include Death Becomes Her and The First Wives Club. On the small screen, Hawn first won recognition as an original cast member of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In."
The show "features Short in a comic tour de force guiding us through an improbable version of his life story. Backed by a brilliant cast of top Broadway performers (who constantly steal focus from Mr. Short when he's not looking), Short's transparent play for love and attention asks the burning question, does an autobiography really have to be true?," state press materials. It also stars Mary Birdsong, Donna Vivino, Marc Shaiman, Capathia Jenkins and Brooks Ashmanskas.
