Biography

---

Ms. Peters' mother, Marguerite, started her off in show business by putting her on the television show Juvenile Jury at the age of three-and-a-half. She later appeared on Name That Tune and The Horn And Hardart Children's Hour. She took tap lessons, and at the age of nine got her Equity Card, under the name of Bernadette Peters, to avoid ethnic stereotyping. The stage name was taken from her father's first name.

In her teen years she appeared in The Most Happy Fella (1959), was an understudy for Dainty June in the touring company of _A_Musical_Fable, and was in The Penny Friend (1966) and The Girl In The Freudian Slip (1967).
