My first jam was at Hotel Diplomat opening for Hollywood.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first gig was 'The Outsiders.' I was 14 there. And probably one of the more jading experiences in my whole life.
My first year and a half in Hollywood, I did three films. Then in 1959, I was in 'Gidget,' 'Imitation of Life' and 'A Summer Place.' After that, I was a star. It was fun.
Growing up in Chadds Ford, Pa., I shuttled between studio space in my parents' house and my grandfather's studio just up the hill. It was a solitary childhood, but I loved it.
My very first acting gig was in a movie for Russ Parr. He did this movie called 'Love for Sale,' and that was my first role in any film.
I started doing independent films. My first one was 'Miss Bala,' which was very well-received at film festivals.
Hollywood never suited me, I didn't ever feel comfortable with it, it took me a couple of years but I found where I was always meant to be... Chiswick!
Then when I got to Hollywood, the first musical I did was Festival in 1977.
When it was announced I had won the Tony Award, I was in Bangkok doing a movie with Judi Dench. I remember coming back from the location to the Oriental Hotel and hearing someone yelling across the reception area, 'You've won the Tony!' It was wonderful and strange to be halfway around the world.
My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13.
My first concert was 'Nsync.
