Laurette Taylor - Anecdote #1, Ben Wiggins Contributor
Spencer was about to go into rehearsal in “The Rugged Path” and, having
been of the stage for some fifteen years, was concerned about
projection.
“Help me, Laurette,” he said. “How do you do it?”
She snorted, “How do I do it? Like this!”
She reached down, picked up one of her feet and lifted it so that we
could see its blistered and bleeding sole. She dropped it and showed us
her other sole. The same.
“That’s how,” she said. “I grab that
goddam stage with my two feet and send it right up from there through
the rest of me and out to them.”
Even Spencer was astounded.
