How I happened upon her contract, I cannot say, but it was amazing. In addition to the usual dressing room clauses and dietary needs, she demanded payment up front, in cash, in a briefcase delivered to her hands and nobody else’s, before she would set foot on the stage. She was a woman in total control of her life and her career. Anyone want to guess how much she was paid to sing one song on an award show in the late 1990s? > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Kevin M.
