Paul Bunyan,

 

Thinking like yours is detrimental to the Armenian Cause. This is why the Armenians get progressively smaller and weaker while the Herias get progressively larger and stronger. Some of the most famous Herias are ges-Herias, who are embraced by their community. Yout statement does not surprise me though, since idiocy like this is rife in our community.

Film, Television and Broadway Star, Concert Stage and Recording Artist, Adrienne Barbeau's career spans 38 years and is still evolving.

She began performing in 1963 with the San Jose Civic Light Opera, and by the time she was 18, she had already entertained our servicemen on army bases throughout South East Asia and was on her way to New York where she made her Broadway debut as Tevye's second daughter, Hodel, in Fiddler on the Roof. A Tony nomination for her creation of Rizzo in the original Broadway production of "Grease" led her back to California and the role of Bea Arthur's daughter, Carol, in the hit series, "Maude" (currently in reruns on Nick at Nite's TV Land.)

 

Her numerous films for television include the Ace Award winning "Doublecrossed: The Barry Seal Story" opposite Dennis Hopper; Scott Turow's "Burden of Proof" with Hector Elizondo; and most recently NBC's Movie of the Week "A Champion's Fight". Weekly audiences can see her in a recurring role on "Drew Carey" as Oswald's mom. Other recent series appearances include "Deep Space Nine", "Diagnosis: Murder", "Sliders", and "Love Boat: The Next Wave".

 

Film audiences know her best from "The Fog", "Escape from New York", "Cannonball Run", "Swamp Thing", "Creepshow", "Two Evil Eyes" and "Back to School". Adrienne just finished filming "No Place Like Home" for theatrical release later this year. The film also stars Judge Reinholdt, Joanna Pakula and Bruce Weitz. It was shot on location in Torrey, Utah. She also has these three new films: a comedy, "A Wake In Providence", an action film "Across the Line", and a horror film, "The Convent".

 

Los Angeles audiences have known her as a television talk show host and a weekly book reviewer for KABC talk radio. Her nightclub performances include Harrah's, Reno; The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel; the Gardenia and the Moonlight Tango Cafe in Los Angeles.

 

Adrienne has starred in over 25 musicals and plays, among them "Pump Boys & Dinettes"; "Women Behind Bars"; Kander and Ebb's "And the World Goes Round"; "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"; "Love Letters"; the West coast premier's of "A Walk on the Wild Side" and "Drop Dead"; the Canadian premiere of Neil Simon's "Lost in Yonkers"; and the world premiere of "What the Rabbi Saw" by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore.

 

Off camera, Adrienne is the voice of Catwoman in "Batman, The Animated Series"; the spokesperson for various television and radio commercials and the narrator of many books on tape, the Imax film "The Living Sea" and the A & E special "Unmentionables". She just released her first cd - not the expected musical showtunes but a great collection of the country, blues, folk and rock tunes she does in her concert appearances across the country.

 

In March of 1997, Adrienne gave birth to identical twin boys making her "the only woman on the maternity ward who was a member of AARP". She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Billy Van Zandt, the twins, William and Walker, and her older son, Cody.
