I just have to stay open and see what comes next.” And Bernadette, who turns 75 on Feb. 28, doesn’t want to get ahead of herself. “I never think about things like legacy. I don’t think that’s how you should think

1 1968 SEA CHANGE “My world had opened up,” said Bernadette of first finding success on the stage with the musical Dames at Sea. “[But] you know, we all have our highs and our lows and our ups and downs. After I had made a big splash off- Broadway in [Dames], I did my Broadway-lead debut. The show lasted one night!” 

2 1974 YARD MARK “I think I’ve always had a unique look,” shared Bernadette, who’d showcase that look opposite Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard. “I think that’s been in my favor. I didn’t fit in. My not fitting in I realized that I’d better just take advantage of who I was.”
