Oh, no – me? Well, ah ... Oh. God – I don’t know where to begin. Oh – Ah, well, everybody says that when I was little every time they put on the radio, I’d just get up and start dancing. And, ah ... Oh, this man came around to my house – selling …  ah, lessons. Oh, and he was a terrific salesman – I’ll never forget it – he put me up against this television set – it was one of those great big square things – and then he turned me around, picked up my foot and touched it to the back of my head and said: “This little girl could be a star.” Well, I don’t know if it was the look on my face – or the fact that I wouldn’t let go of his leg But my mother saw how much it meant to me. I mean, I watched everything on television that had dancing on it – Especially - oh, God – every Sunday, it was, ah ... ah ...Ed Sullivan – every Sunday – like church. And, ah ... oh,   dear, what was I talking about? It was – oh, right – Ed Sullivan. (Steps back downstage) I’m sorry. It’s just – I’m really nervous. But anyway, I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted  to, like, be all those people in the movies. Only it’s funny, I never wanted to be Ann Miller ... I wanted to be – Doris Day. Except I had this little ah ... problem.
