Bernadette Peters is such a talented woman. She sings beautifully and is an amazing actress. She made me laugh so hard in Cinderella (the version with Brandy Norwood as Cinderella). She sang the songs so beautifully, and when she laughed, she had this adorable little giggle that made me smile. And her accent was very lovely.
I just love her voice when she speaks and when she sings. I can't help but smile when I think of her talent. She's beautiful and talented and worked very hard to come this far in her career. I hope to see her in more movies and shows in the future. She's just amazing!moreless
