Former model Anna Nicole Smith is not the only overweight bodacious babe out there [TELEVISION, July 22]. Writer Joel Stein said, "Despite the fact that she weighs more than 200 lbs., Smith is still beautiful and sexy enough to make men do" what she wants. I too weigh more than 200 lbs. and, like Smith, I can make men do pretty much what I want. There are many women like us walking around.

Here she manages to enhance Joel's music (sung by a Billy stand-in, Michael Cavanaugh, who sits at a piano, accompanied by a 10-piece band, on a platform above the stage) while buoying the spirits with sexy, high-voltage dancing that promises to give Broadway a rush of excitement. Best of all, she does it the old-fashioned, pre-Mamma Mia! way: no dancing in the aisles...
