Interviewer: Keeping with the theme of comedy, did you-is-three pending offers. That when your comic timing, your comedy-sense of comedy- Bea: Well I tell you, yes, because I-at the new school where I went to dramatic school, I was-I was-of course I was very tall, I told you I had enormous breasts and I was kind of cute. And the-the head of the school immediately cast me in all kinds of-of classical roles. And my first was Liz Estrada. I played-I couldn���t act my way out of a paper bag, but I did. What was I going to say? I was talking about-yeah, so I would so all these classical things, and I was hired once, again as a singer ��� everyone-every-everyone was trying to emulate Lina Horn at the time. And I auditioned and got it-got a job at a-a nightclub. I forget whether it was the Blue Angel or the-I dunno. But at any rate, I-the man wrote a book later. He said I had the worst dress he had ever seen in his life. But at any rate, I was there for I think two or three nights. And Julie Smonk was the-the manager, and he came to me and told me he would have to fire me. He said, you know, he said, ���You���re so tall and so obviously in control, that nobody is going to believe you if you sing about my man done left me and I���m going to throw myself in the river��� You know, he said, ���You ought to try comedy��� and I thought, ���Me? Comic-I��色�� but going back to Threepenny-do you realize I���m talking about myself? CAREY: That���s great. BEA: Threepenny Opera, my song came and I walked to the audience and my first line of the song was ���I used to believe in the days I was pure��� Which I���d-I really meant. And the audience broke up. They laughed like crazy, and my next line was, ���And I was pure, like you used to be��� and again, and I thought, ���Hey! This is-��� and it did something for me because I realized that it���s a hell of a feeling to-to get a laugh and to, you know, to make an audience do what you want it to do.
