Peters, Bernadette [née Lazzara] (b. 1948), actress and singer. The gamine, baby‐voiced performer was born in Ozone Park, New York. She was not quite eleven when she made her first professional appearance in a
City Center revival of
The Most Happy Fella, then two years later she played in a touring company of
Gypsy. Fame came when she portrayed Ruby (read Ruby Keeler) in the Off‐Broadway musical spoof
Dames at Sea (1968). Although Peters has appeared in plays, she is best known for musical roles such as vaudevillian Josie Cohan in
George M (1968), Italian waif Gelsomina in
La Strada (1969), silent film comedienne Mabel Normand in
Mack and Mabel (1974), artist's model Dot and her daughter Marie in
Sunday in the Park with George (1984), transplanted Brit Emma in
Song and Dance (1985), the Witch in
Into the Woods (1987), struggling actress Paula in
The Goodbye Girl (1993), sharpshooter Annie Oakley in
Annie Get Your Gun (1999), and stage mother Rose in
Gypsy (2003). Peters is one of the few remaining Broadway musical stars, known for her considerable acting talents and for her Broadway belt that can also be intimate and cozy.
