#Quote
1When I was growing up, it was not something you aspired to. I was a weirdo to want to be in show business. Most kids wanted to be teachers or nurses.
2(About the 20th Anniversary revival of "Annie") "I want this show to run for at least three years with me in it, then I want to take a week off".

4Was originally inspired to be an opera singer, but cited such popular singers as Doris Day, The Andrews Sisters, Johnny Mathis, Cleo Laine and Barbra Streisand as her profound influences to switch vocal gears.
5Nell performed at an AIDS benefit in 1996, a tribute to actress Angela Lansbury. Her brother, Bernard, died of AIDS in 1989.
6Appeared in support of Bette Davis in the 1974 musical production of "Miss Moffat", which was based on the Davis movie The Corn Is Green (1945). The show closed before it made it to Broadway.

13On the day before she died, Nell was rehearsing for a play, "Raisin", in Long Beach, California. There, she gave an impromptu interview with a Los Angeles Times staff reporter which reflected emotionally about her beginnings in Alabama. The Times also took the last photograph of Nell Carter - which was a beautiful candid shot.
