Patti LuPone is a living legend in the entertainment world. Over the course of her decades-spanning career, the Broadway, TV, and film actor has received three Tony Awards, (seven nominations) two Grammys, and two Olivier Awards, making her the first-ever American recipient. "Patti's a force of nature, and, in really the best sense of the term, a star," friend and producer Jeffrey Richman said in The Washington Post.
LuPone rose to fame as Eva Perón in the original production of "Evita" in 1979, nabbing her first Tony Award for that seminal role. She picked up a second Tony playing the indomitable stage mother Mama Rose in a 2007 revival of "Gypsy." Earlier this year, the Tonys graced her with a third statuette for her performance in "Company." On TV, she starred in "Life Goes On" in the '90s, and had recurring roles in "Oz," "American Horror Story," and the Netflix miniseries, "Hollywood," playing a part Ryan Murphy wrote specifically for her.
Besides all the acting accolades, the Broadway belter may be just as famous for spouting off about almost anything or anyone. This grand dame of The Great White Way is often unfiltered and unflinching, especially when it comes to those who stand in her way. So, sit tight. We've got your front row seat for all the drama, both on stage and off.
