About

Carol Lawrence is one of the shining stars of the entertainment world. From New Faces of 1952 to the landmark role of Maria in the original company of West Side Story, to her brilliant cabaret career and extensive television appearances, Ms. Lawrence has demonstrated an incomparable versatility and charisma.

Her performances on the Bell Telephone Hour, issued for the first time here, display the full range of her talents as a singer and dancer. Highlights include selections from West Side Story with her original co-star, Larry Kert, and segments with stage and screen luminaries Robert Goulet, Howard Keel and Matt Mattox.

As a bonus, we have included an exclusive 2004 interview in which Carol Lawrence talks about her childhood, dance training, illustrious colleagues, and career.
