Ah, the life of a "Broadway dame"! The drama! The intrigue! The harrowing dilemmas! The NYT's Joyce Wadler reports:
[Wadler to a group of "dames"]: Are you the ladies who lunch?
"No," Ms. Stritch said, "We're the ladies who don't lunch."
Ms. Bergen, missing that, started talking about a recent lunch.
Ms. Stritch interrupted.
"I was invited to luncheon at Le Cirque last Friday. I couldn't go. I had a CAT scan. That's the only thing I'd rather not do than have lunch."
"I can't stand them," Ms. Bergen said.
