[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 321852, member: 23"] [I]This Much Is True [/I]continues to be a great read. I'm smiling a lot when reading it and also learning a great deal about Miriam's career. In the last chapter I read she was playing Madame Morrible in [I]Wicked[/I] on Broadway, taking over from Carol Kane who originated the role. Miriam balked at the singing and went the "Rex Harrison" route of speaking the lyrics in time with the music. Her Miss Prism was also very well-received. The voiceover section is fun. By the middle of the Eighties Miriam was the highest-earning female voiceover artist in the country. There are so many adverts I know so well without realising it was her. She was Dolly in the PG Tips adverts, playing opposite Stanley Baxter.
