Mystery Classmate 006

Congratulations to Mary Bender Knight, Jack Horner, and Maria Wojtaszek Romanelli, all of whom correctly identified Colleen Dunn ('85) as Mystery Classmate 006 and are listed in the order that their responses were received.

In case you were wondering, Colleen is the lead dancer in the Broadway musical "Contact," which won the 2000 Tony Award for Best Musical and is now on tour. TorontoStage.com reviews her performance thusly:

She never breathes a word but as The Girl in the Yellow Dress, Colleen Dunn radiates a post orgasmic aura and in doing so raises the testosterone level in the room ten fold.

Colleen's bio also includes appearances at Lincoln Center Theater: My Favorite Year (Princess Veronica). on Broadway: original casts of The Will Rogers Follies, Sunset Blvd (also L.A.), Ain't Broadway Grand and Legs Diamond; revivals of Annie (Grace Farrell/20th Anniversary Production) and Follies (Roundabout Theatre); Cats (Cassandra). Other: Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular (Rockette). Films: Everyone Says I Love You. Television: "Late Night With David Letterman," "The Dana Carvey Show," "Saturday Night Live," "All My Children" (Libby Daniels), "Another World" (Starr), "The Magic Of Music," Tony Awards '91, '95, '01 and can be seen as the faux French maid in the current Dannon Yogurt TV commercial. Colleen is fully recovered after open heart surgery to repair an aetrial septal defect and an ensuing two-year battle with pericardistis.

Joe Caprara guessed June Whitaker. Milton Koutavas guessed Kathy Begg. Jerry Koutavas guessed Katie Miles.
