Most recognized for: If you should be unfortunate enough to have “theater friends,” they probably know who she is. Considered broadway royalty, Barb was lauded for her show-stopping vocal performances in the 50’s. She later turned her stage fame into a lucrative recording & touring career… tantalizing showtune junkies around the world with arias such as “Glitter and Be Gay” … not that there’s anything wrong with that.
