I moved to Los Angeles in 1964. The first live play I ever attended was KISS ME KATE at the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera. The star was Patrice Munsel. She was beautiful and enormously talented.
I felt very honored to see her perform live and in person. I am very saddened by her death, but very happy that she lived past age 90. Patrice Munsel was a God-send to all of us. AL SCHALLAU, Palos Verdes,CA
