Why Betty Buckley Wanted to Make an Animated Film About a Mayfly
Just a short time before COVID changed the world, Tony Award winner Betty Buckley attended a Judy Collins concert at the Café Carlyle, the intimate Manhattan venue where Buckley has spun her own special brand of magic on numerous occasions over the past few decades.
“During [Judy Collins’] show,” Buckley recently told Playbill by phone from her Texas ranch, “this little creature was flying over her head through the whole concert, doing these beautiful patterns in golden streams of light. And, I swear to God this happened, as the last chord was strummed on the guitar, [this mayfly] was suspended in space, and then just lightly, gracefully floated down like a little sailboat, and landed in Judy Collins’ voluptuous hair.”
