Her longtine manager said that she had developed lung cancer, despite the fact that she was a nonsmoker.

Beverly Sills, the precocious tot from Brooklyn who became one of the most honored coloratura sopranos of her time, and then had an entire second career as a top-level arts administrator, died yesterday at her New York home at age 78. Her longtine manager said that she had developed lung cancer, despite the fact that she was a nonsmoker. Her singing, her struggles, her effervescent character, her administrative gifts and her vision of opera's future were known far beyond the opera house. She sparkled as a radio and television personality and interviewer and energized New York's cultural community as chief executive of New York City Opera, chairman of Lincoln Center and president of the Metropolitan Opera.

PETULA CLARK
There were those of us who had hoped that Sunset Boulevard would run, if not indefinitely, then at least a decade at the Minskoff Theatre, so we would be able to witness all the possible interpretations of Norma Desmond, the faded silent screen star who had been inhabited in the New York company by Betty Buckley, Glenn Close, Elaine Paige and standby Karen Mason. Wouldn't it have been great to have had the chance to see Australia's Debra Byrne, Germany's Helen Schneider, Toronto's Diahann Carroll and England's final Norma, Petula Clark? Well, Sunset and Clark fans are in for a treat this month when Petula Clark heads the second national tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard. The tour will feature direction by The Sound of Music's Susan H. Schulman and a new set design by Derek McLane; however, the dialogue and music will remain the same as the previous professional productions. So, fear not, Sunset fans, you will indeed hear Clark belt out that show's two "arias," "With One Look" and "As If We Never Said Goodbye."
