SCRAPBOOK

2000

Susan guest starred on the Christmas episode of The Drew Carey Show playing a single, pregnant co-worker of Drew's, with her sights firmly set on him as the father.

Susan is pictured top left with Kathy Kinney, bottom left lounging on the living room set, and at right showing off her "bundle of joy."

THE JOHN SALLEY SHOW ON THE BET NETWORK - Nov 20, 2000

Susan was a guest on a BET talk show hosted by former NBA star, John Salley.  In the picture at left, you'll notice that Susan's standing on the couch... John is 6'11" tall.

Susan had to rush over from the set of XCU to do this interview, with no time to change out of her wig for the movie -- thus the redhead look she is sporting in this photo.  Imagine the conversation when John got a gander at Susan in her non-wigged, jet-black hair when he rolled the clip from Nikki.

SUSAN SINGS IN CEDAR RAPIDS - OCTOBER 14-15

Susan is pictured at left with Carl Reiner, Howard Morris and Nanette Fabray in a little number they did on the 1955 show "Caesar's Hour".... what?   Okay... so we don't have any pictures of Susan with Nanette from the night of the event.  We do what we can.

TOO DEAD TO SWING RELEASED - SEPTEMBER  2000

Susan stars as the narrator and central character, Katy Green, in the new book on tape

Too Dead To Swing

Too Dead To Swing is a vintage murder mystery with Swing-era music.   Also featured are Broadway's Harry Groener and Ann Hampton Callaway.  There are some original songs that are sung by Ann; a treat to be sure.  It promises to be quite fun!  

For more information, visit www.toodeadtoswing.com and go to  their demo page to hear an 8-minute sample.

Susan began production on the new WB sitcom, NIKKI,  and was thrilled to hear that the network had picked up the show for a full first season.  And FULL it was.  Susan played Mary Campbell -- a Vegas showgirl bitter to be beyond her Vegas dancer prime.  This queen of one-liners, the sarcastic and witty character of Mary, was great fun for Susan to create, and found her portraying quite a few interesting and irreverent characters in the unique and outrageous production numbers that opened each episode.  

Season one of NIKKI premiered in October of 2000

After a wonderfully successful and immensely rewarding  run, Susan presented her final performance in Broadway's Cabaret at Studio 54, where she received outstanding critical acclaim for her year-long portrayal of the downwardly-mobile Sally Bowles.

DUET CONCERT WITH MALCOLM GETS -  APRIL 15, 2000

Susan teamed up with Malcolm Gets (Caroline in the City, A New Brain, Hello Again) for one night to present a duet concert as part of the UCLA / ASCAP Concert Series held at UCLA.

At bottom left is a photo of Susan and Malcolm at a rehearsal the day of the performance, singing through the song  "What Could Be Better" from Baby, which they sang at that evening's performance.

Orange County Performing Arts Center, Founders Hall 

Susan sang to sell-out crowds and got rave reviews from both the LA Times and the Orange County Register.

Pictured with Susan are (from left) Assistant Karen Rymar, Musical Director Eric Vetro, Guest Vocalist Lisa Richard and musician Tim Nelson.

Susan wrote the liner notes for the exceptional debut solo release from singer and friend Lisa Richard, Born To Entertain.

Excerpts from Susan's liner notes: 

 "What I love to hear is the daring woman - sure and in command - standing out front with the big band boys in back!  Or the woman alone, singing soulfully with little accompaniment - totally exposed.  That is hot.  That is talent.  And that is Lisa."

"You can hear Lisa - the real Lisa - in her phrasing (Never Enough), in her tenderness (I Will Be Loved), in her humorous self-deprecation (You Can Always Count On Me) and in her vocal power (Big Time)."
