Andrew Lloyd Webber said that he was looking for someone who possessed a “great beauty.”
In a recent interview with Alexander Rodriguez for the "On the Rocks Radio Show," two-time Tony Award Winner Judy Kaye explained why her looks factored into not getting the leading role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Aspects of Love.
In the interview, Kaye shared that she pitched Lloyd Webber the opportunity to audition for his next show, Aspects of Love. However, he responded that he was looking for someone who possessed a "great beauty." Ann Crumb was eventually cast in the role, which was also played by Susannah Fellows, Helen Hobson and Sarah Brightman.
