This is the BP bio from a Mack and Mabel playbill dated October 1974. Here goes...
BERNADETTE PETERS (Mabel Normand) received the most glowing if imaginable critical notices for her tap dancing and singing in the original New York production of Dames at Sea. She went on to win acclaim for her performance as the tragicomic waif in La Strada and as Hildy, the sexy cab driver, in the recent production of On the Town, winning a Tony Award nomination for that portrayal. Bernadette made her debut on - and became a regular member of - the Horn & Hardart Children's Hour at the age of five and has been performing professionally ever since. Her first stage appearance was in the New York City Center production of The Most Happy Fella, followed by the role of Agnes in the national company of Gypsy. In 1966, Bernadette was nominated for the Vernon Rice Award for her New York performance in the musical, The Penny Friend, and was voted one of the "most promising new actresses of the season" by the New York Drama Critics for her contribution to Johnny No-Trump. She created the Alice Faye role in the off-Broadway production of Curly MeDimple [sic], then returned to Broadway as Josie Cohan in George M! Her first motion picture, Ace Eli and Rodgers of the Skies, was released last spring, and she recently completed The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds, Bernadette has starred on many television shows, most recently with Carol Burnett in Once Upon a Mattress. She appeared last season as Doreen in Tartuffe at Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theatre. In New York she studies acting with David Legrant.

Wow. That's long. (I mean for a bio of hers from the 70's. Now it's quite understandably long and extensive.) I noticed it said that she played "Agnes" in Gypsy (and not that she played "Dainty June," which was the "resume padding" she jokes about now.) Is this the snippet her mother wrote, or did Bernadette write it, or did her agent write it? Since this is so long ago (and since the resume padding is now an infamous inside joke to fans who follow her career,) I was just curious.

I'm not sure who wrote it.. I didn't see any credit for it given.
