In a recent New Yorker interview, Patti LuPone expressed her long-standing grievances against fellow actresses Glenn Close and Audra McDonald. The scandal ignited in 1994 when Close replaced LuPone in the Broadway production of 'Sunset Boulevard' after LuPone learned through the press about the decision. Tensions escalated when they encountered each other at a 2011 tribute, with LuPone feeling disrespected by Close's denials of involvement. Additionally, LuPone's comments about McDonald, who currently plays a role she once portrayed, further illustrated the contentious relationships among the Broadway stars.
I'd felt rejection, but not that kind of rejection. LuPone expresses her hurt over being replaced by Close in the Broadway production of 'Sunset Boulevard.'
What a beautiful day. LuPone's sarcastic comment about McDonald's performance in 'Gypsy' underscores the tension despite their shared role in the play.
