All eyes on Penny Fuller
The 76-year-old actress stars in the West Coast debut of a one-woman show full of song and scandal. By Stephanie Cary
PENNY FULLER MAY not be all that scandalous herself—her most disreputable act (that she’d tell us, at least) was divorcing her husband and leaving behind her Southern roots—but she has plenty of experience dealing with misconduct onstage. In the one-woman show 13 Things About
Ed Carpolotti, which made its West Coast debut at the Broad Stage in January, the actress stars as a widow who discovers that her recently deceased husband has left her in massive debt. To make matters worse, she receives a letter from someone threatening to tell the world about his misdeeds unless she pays $1 million in ransom. But the widow refuses to believe that her husband did her wrong. “It just doesn’t fit with who he is and what
they had,” says Fuller. “So through figuring it out and hanging in there and never giving up on him—even though there are times she wants to—it resolves itself. It’s a love story, is what it is. It’s a beautiful love story.”
