‘Imaginary’ Star Betty Buckley on Embracing Playing Another ‘White-Haired Weirdo’ and Why She’s Unsure About a Return to Broadway


Betty Buckley talks about playing another "white-haired weirdo" in "Imaginary" and why she's unsure about returning to Broadway.

She first checked in when she landed the role of Abby Bradford, Dick Van Patten ’s new wife and stepmother to his kids in ABC’s 1970s family comedy-drama “ Eight Is Enough,” shortly after her big screen debut as gym teacher Miss Collins in “Carrie.” “It would depend on the part and the team, but the level of stamina this past year has been really challenging.” The physical tole of playing Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard” in high heels led to a knee replacement following shoulder surgery. Directed by four-time Emmy-nominee Sue Perrotto with music by Grammy nominee Christian Jacob, the film was inspired by a mayfly Buckley saw flying inside New York’s Café Carlyle during a Judy Collins concert.
