The best way to describe Ann, Holland Taylor’s one-woman show about former governor of Texas Ann Richards that she both wrote and stars in, is what the Hall of Presidents in Disney World would be like if instead of a robotic Barack Obama the host was a Texas-twanged white-haired lady who didn’t care that she was on a stage in the family-friendliest theme park in the world.
Taylor, who has had one heck of a career, was featured in a nice CBS Sunday Morning segment this past Sunday where she talks about her long career, working with Tom Hanks on Bosom Buddies and the evolution of Ann.
Holland Taylor is thrilled to finally have a part she can sink her teeth into. Not that playing a mom on Two and a Half Men isn’t exciting, but it’s not exactly a difficult role. With her new play, Ann, Taylor has the opportunity to portray former Texas governor, Ann Richards.
