Someone posted the season finale promo on You Tube and there's a half second mention of Bernadette and it shows her laughing. Must be the one that's been mentioned here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo7c2BJJSqs&search=megan%20mullally href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo7c2BJJSqs&search=megan%20mullally">promo

I don't know if anyone reads TV GUIDE anymore, but there are 2 small pictures of Bernadette in this week's issue. One on page 6 of Bernadette and Megan, and another on page 68, where they list all the guest stars on Will and Grace. The one of Bernadette and Megan is great! I wish I had a scanner to post it.

The caption under the picture of Bernadette with Megan:

"It turns out booze runs in the family--literally--when the intoxicatingly cool Bernadette Peters appears as our favotite rummy's sister, Gin."

It looks like a regular black dress to me. Am I missing something? Anonymous, where have you seen it?

Isn't Bernadette's "little black dress" she wore on 'Will and Grace" the same dress she wore at the stage door after the concert? What caught my eye was the pin near her left shoulder.
I was so glad I waited those extra minutes at the stage door! I was cold and almost left five minutes before. I was able to upgrade my seat from row 39 to 14...what a lucky break! She was fantastic and more playful than I've ever seen her in former concerts...nice to see.And I met Jean,Mandy,Vivki,Felicia,Kevin and "mom",Christine..and Sister Rose in the bathroom!
Tuesday night went to" Spamalot"- front row seats- and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen! The audience laughed so hard, that the actors had to stop a couple of times till things quieted down! The show has good music, the actors perfect in their roles(expressions!) and the lyrics and book SO creative! If you want to forget your troubles for a couple of hours, go see this fantastic show.! I miss NYC already and can't wait to come back..and maybe get together ---and this time maybe I'll make it to a bash!
Everyone have a great summer...and talk to you "on the board"!
Patty

To the loveliest lady of song!
You will keep on giving me joy forever...

Rose, my avatar is a picture I took of Bernadette and Ira Joe Fisher last summer.

As for the dress, Patty you might be right. Anonymous, is that what you were thinking of? The dress she wore at the stage door at Lincoln Center?

It is the dress she wore at "Will and Grace" - she told me she got to keep it.

It hasn't aired over here yet but due to the kindness of a friend I have a copy DVD of the Will and Grace episode featuring Bernadette and have just watched and enjoyed it.

I can see why some of you were so disaappointed since she didn't get the greatest of lines in a show where there wasn't a whole lot of great lines anyway - but it was funny enough to make me laugh out loud quite often. The silly and most obvious plays on her name "Gin, please!" had me laughing as did the Twister repartee and the " I could have been on Broadway" tap dancing part.

One thing struck me as very odd - why didn't the studio audience applaud or cheer when she made her first appearance? Strange, that.

I thought she was funny and that she wrung the best out of the material she was given. She looked healthy and gorgeous, and I'm thankful that we fans around the world will at least get to see her in something this year - even if it can't be on a concert stage.



as Bernadette says....just keep moving on.....

The studio audiences of television shows often applaud for guest stars they know and like. The fact that Bernadette got entrance applause showed how well known she was by the audience.

But that is precisely the point I was making in my post. I was very surprised to see that she did not get any entrance applause at all. That's what I found strange.

Oh sorry. I read your post too fast. I thought she did get applause. Maybe because she started talking right away there wasn't time to give her applause. I don't know.

When I watched it on TV she startled me when so came out because it was so sudden. Maybe the audience was just surprised and then there was no time.

If it's like the Adopted taping, maybe they were all introduced to the audience before they started. One of my friends said that the hour-long special before the last Will and Grace was showing some behind the scenes stuff from the Baby Gin episode -- the table reading, some of the taping -- and that Bernadette was in some of the shots but nothing significant. I caught the end and saw someone giving her a bear hug during the curtain call.

Yes, everyone was introduced at the beginning of the taping. They showed the 4 leads being introduced in the 1 hour special but it looked like all the other cast members had been introduced as well. The broadcast just showed the last 4. So that probably explains why there was no entrance applause and also her abrupt entrance. There was a funny moment in the special when I think Sean Hayes was giving Bernadette a shoulder massage. Shelley Morrison (Rosario) was the one who gave her the big hug at the curtain call. They also showed everyone back stage before they went on and several cast members gave Bernadete a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
