It's a Beautiful Life: The 10 Most Beautiful People on Broadway - Marc Kudisch
InTheater
August 14, 1998
Beauty is...Being. People who are completely themselves, with as little fear as possible, are beautiful.
Beautiful celebs: Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon. And, more and more, Kim Basinger; the older that woman gets, oh my gosh! On the male end, Dustin Hoffman, Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson. And Mel Gibson; there's something raw and unabandoned about what he does. Just watch The Road Warrior.
Were you a "beautiful baby"? When I was a little kid, I was really heavy. My mom had to buy me these pants from Sears called "Huskies", so I went to school with the word "husky" plastered on my butt in big old letters. It might as well have said, "This kid is chunkin'!" Then I sprouted when I got a little older, and I was thin as a rail. It wasn't until I got to college that I began to work out - mostly to get rid of frustrations and aggressions I'd been holding onto for years.
When do you feel beautiful? When I'm having a good time in a show, and so is the audience; when I surprise myself by doing something new. To me, a pure comic moment onstage is beautiful.
