Singer and Actress Barbara on Confronting Her Nerves

Since the 1950s, Cook has been in countless Broadway musicals--"Oklahoma", "The King and I", and Leonard Bernstein's "Candide," to name a few. She's been called a "no nonsense singer...able to thrust with gentility of tone." We rebroadcast Terry's interview with her from last year, when Cook's latest album, "Dorothy Fields: Close as Pages in a Book," was released. (Rebroadcast)
