Harvey Fierstein Instagram – Forty years is a long time to be friends. I first met Chita when our beloved Ted Hook brought her to my dressing room following the first performance of TORCH SONG TRILOGY on Broadway. We spent the next decades roaming in and out of each others’ lives the way you do with family. She taught me, not only how to behave in public, but to take psyllium husk every morning to be sure you are nice and empty at curtain time. To say I loved her is almost an insult to the deep connection I always felt when with her. And so, let me simply send my heart out to Lisa, Armando, Lola and Julio. And let me never forget her ever loyal Rosie!
91 years is a great run for a Broadway legend but for a goddess….we could have worshipped her for a hundred more. Goodbye, my friend.
