Betty Buckley

You Might Know Her From Carrie, Split, The Happening, Frantic, Oz, Eight is Enough, Tender Mercies, Wyatt Earp, Eternity, and theatrical productions of CATS, Sunset Boulevard, Gypsy, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and 1776. We talk to Tony-winner Betty Buckley about her upcoming residence at Joe's Pub April 24-26 2026. Betty also teased the new Amanda Kramer sci-fi drama By Design, the Annie Get Your Gun rodeo pitch that never came to be, and all the Easter-egg voices she's provided from Tender Mercies to Hair. Betty also gave us all the epic juice from starring in Brian De Palma's Carrie and then going on to originate it in the notorious Broadway musical adaptation. Oh baby, that's just the tip of the iceberg! Go see Betty at Joe's Pub if you're nearby!
