My Take

Anita Morris strikes me as a true creature of the stage. A triple threat from Durham who could sing, dance and act, she earned a Tony nomination for Nine and lit up Broadway in shows like Jesus Christ Superstar. I have a soft spot for performers who thrive in live theatre, where there's no second take and the energy is exchanged in real time. Her death at fifty in 1994 feels like a loss of years she should have had on stage. Even through the dry record, you can sense the heat of someone who lived for the applause she earned the hard way.
