I hope my kids are as nice as Faye Wright
“Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m…” Always loved that Beatles song. And I confess, with four daughters, I’m pretty confident at least one of them will care for me when I’m 64. Or 80, for that matter, which is how old Faye Wright’s mother is now.
And the star of the musical Chicago flew across the world to be with her. Now that’s a mother’s day present. On the other hand, she does sort of owe it all to Mom: “I decided to take her to dancing lessons because she was so shy,” says Natalie Ball, the new octagenarian.
It paid off. Wright has been in touring productions of Chicago in the U.K., Europe, and in the stage production in South Africa. She’s been on stage with Melanie Griffith and Brooke Shields. Now she’s preparing to move to America, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Most of all, though, I’m touched that she’s that dutiful a daughter. Now, to forward this article to all my kids…knew I shoulda made them stick with their dance lessons…
