Meet Terri White: Lesbian actress goes from sleeping on park bench to Broadway [video]

''Their clothes did not look like they were from Goodwill. They looked like they'd had jobs.... [NYC piano bars] want to bring in the younger crowd. And I'm old.''

Actress Terri White, 61, telling the New York Times of her recent troubles -- breaking up with a long-time girlfriend, losing her apartment, becoming one of the ''temporary homeless,'' and trouble finding steady work. She has bounced back with a new lady love and landed a role in ''Finian's Rainbow,'' a musical that just opened on Broadway. She plays Dottie in the show which is about a Irish family, bigotry in the deep south, a leprechaun looking for his stolen pot of gold and, of course, falling in love. The show also features Cheyenne Jackson who was recently featured on the cover of Metro Weekly. (NY Times)
