Broadway legend Carole Cook implied she wants to see President Trump get assassinated, asking “Where's John Wilkes Booth when you need him?" when approached by a TMZ cameraman in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The 94-year-old Cook’s comment delighted her husband, who quickly reminded viewers that John Wilkes Booth killed a president, who was obviously Abraham Lincoln.

She played it on B’way too. She was hilarious!
She won the Tony for The Elephant Man.
Carole Cook is no Hollywood Grande Dame, she is a B movie and TV actress. She’s just 94 and people out there thinks she’s something. Most likely she’s got senility of some sort and just needs her meds and/or booze to keep her going.
Uch! That’s seriously FUGLY.
Never heard of her. I guess she figured at 94 this might be her last chance to be an attention whore.
Looks like she did mostly film and television. She’s 94.

“In addition to her film and television work, Cook appeared in the original Broadway productions of 42nd Street and Romantic Comedy and was the second actress (after Carol Channing) to star as Dolly Levi in Hello, Dolly! She played Mrs. Peacham in the 1956 off-Broadway production of The Three Penny Opera, starring Lotte Lenya.[citation needed]!”
And as with many in show business,...
“Cook is a longtime supporter of various AIDS organizations and regularly appears as a featured performer in the annual Los Angeles S.T.A.G.E. benefit. With her actor husband, Tom Troupe, Cook received the 2002 Theatre Ovation Award for Lifetime Career Achievement, the first husband and wife to be so honored. Cook received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Baylor University, the S.T.A.G.E. Producers Award and the Hero in the Fight Against AIDS Award from the Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation, as well as eight Drama-Logue and Robby Awards.[citation needed]”
Fitting. Wilkes assassinated the Republican president who freed the slaves over near total democrat opposition. The democrats worked solid for the next 100+ years at keeping black citizens segregated and off the voter rolls. Even the democrat God (FDR) refused black Americans their full constitutional rights. And Truman. And Kennedy. Even Johnson. They were all afraid of losing the southern democrats and thus their own reelection campaigns. Johnson finally figured out a way to create a government plantation for black Americans and “get them voting straight democrat for a hundred years,” he bragged). The Great (welfare) Society.
This stupid 94 year old moron, is just copying Johnny Depp, who talked about Booth first! So she's NOT being original at all; just an OLD, wretchedly stupid moronic lefty.
if the left can’t impeach him they want him dead whichever comes first..imagine this being said about Obama what the reaction would be
Barbara Cook, who just died about six months- one year ago, would never have stooped to this level of stupidity.
Whoever this crone is, she should remember that Booth’s brother, the great actor Edwin Booth, mourned Lincoln for the rest of his life and always spoke of how he saved Robert Lincoln from death when the young man fell onto train tracks. Not every actor lacks character.
‘Grand Dame’ is Hollywood for ‘Old Bag’. Never had a lead role that I find. A not very memorable bit player best known for being Lucille Ball’s girl Friday in her younger days.
She later became a protégé of actress and comedian Lucille Ball,[when?] who gave the ingenue her stage name of "Carole", for Ball's friend Carole Lombard. Ball reportedly told Cook, "you have the same healthy disrespect for everything in general". Cook appeared regularly on The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy. Ball was matron of honor at Cook's wedding in 1964 to actor Tom Troupe, to whom she remains married; the couple has no children.[citation needed]
Cook starred in the animated Disney film Home on the Range, voicing Pearl Gesner. She appeared in such feature films as The Incredible Mr. Limpet, Sixteen Candles, Grandview, U.S.A., American Gigolo, Summer Lovers, and Palm Springs Weekend. She made guest appearances on such television shows as The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, Darkroom, Knight Rider, Emergency!, Magnum, P.I., McMillan and Wife, Murder, She Wrote, Dynasty, Charlie's Angels, and Grey's Anatomy.[3]
My beloved spouse LOVES Barbara Cook and saw her in many Broadway shows; hence my stupid "brain fart", due to the fact that we had just been talking about the GREAT,now lamented Barbara.
Not sure that makes her a “Broadway Grand Dame”.
Like, for example - I saw Bernadette Peters’ opening night when she took over from Bette Midler in Hello Dolly this January.
When she sang “It’s so nice to be back home where I belong” it stopped the show for six and a half minutes.
THAT is what I would consider a B’way Grand Dame. Compared to that, Bette Midler is a lounge singer.
And this broad? It’s news to me she took over for Carol Channing. How long did she run?
Even more fitting that JWB was by profession....an actor.
I just read her memoir which she published a year before her death. She was responsible for a major change in “Glitter and Be Gay” from Candide when she told Bernstein it was impossible for even a great singer to sing.
I never saw her in a B’way show but I saw her many times in concert. A very great artist. I have many of her cds in which she always reduces me to tears with her poignant renditions of the great American songbook...gone too soon at 89.
Revising and extending my remarks:
And so now the democrats see Trump as a danger to their voting lock on black Americans. If he successfully improves the economy and brings back the good manufacturing jobs (for example) that the democrats claimed were lost forever, and opportunities for blacks continue opening up and black unemployment ranks continue falling, they might actually start thinking that freedom is better than socialism and start voting Republican again (already happening).
So the democrats are now desperately trying to take down President Trump, any way they can.
I gotta tell you, I saw this tacky travelling road show production with Donna Murphy and she got the same reception from the credulous audience.
B’way ain’t what it used to be.
Nora Desmond, is that you?
I just LOVE her bright orange eyebrows!
Bernadette Peters could very well be the hottest 70 year-old on the planet.
