Joan Collins (l) as Alexis & Stephanie Beacham (r) as Sable
mid-80s Dynasty glamour.

"Stephanie Beacham might be playing the legendary Maria Callas in her latest play, but she has an admission to make — she’s not much of an opera buff. ‘I can find opera the most fabulous evening I can have or one of the ­silliest,’ says the ex-Dynasty star, 63, who is touring in ­Terrence McNally’s Master Class, which is inspired by singing lessons Callas gave in the Seventies. Adds Stephanie: ­‘Seeing a fat woman ­singing and pretending to be 16 years old does not move me — unless to tears of laughter.’" [Source]
