Debra Lee Kristian did not fit the standards that Donn Arden’s cast members were typically known for. She was quite short but was able to entertain Donn Arden enough to win the role as the Principal singer of Allez Lido, the final edition of the Lido de Paris at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Listen in to part one of her interview to learn how she got into dancing and singing, her first audition for Donn Arden, even though she was too short, and the stage spectacular that she had landed her principal role in. Enjoy!!
Mentioned on the show
