What does it mean to be a performing artist - first, last
and always? Broadway legend Elaine Stritch can answer that. At 87, Stritch is
still here, dominating the stage in her one woman cabaret act, torturing Alec
Baldwin on 30ROCK, giving us her take on aging, her struggle with alcohol and
diabetes, and the fear of leaving the follow spot behind. In stolen moments
from her corner room at the Carlyle, and on breaks from her tour and work,
candid reflections about her life are punctuated with rare archival footage,
words from friends (Hal Prince, George C. Wolfe, Nathan Lane, Cherry Jones and
John Turturro) and photographs from her personal collection. By turns bold,
hilarious and achingly poignant, the journey connects Stritch's present to her
past, and an inspiring portrait of a one-of-a-kind survivor emerges.
