Lee Stark in WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY
Lee Stark (currently playing Hypatia Tarleton in MISALLIANCE) was featured this week in Women’s Wear Daily:
Free Spirit: Lee Stark Discusses Her Role in ‘Misalliance’
…it’s no wonder Stark is perfect for her current role in “Misalliance.” She plays Hypatia, the rebellious daughter of John Tarleton (Dan Daily). Though engaged to the clever yet irksome aristocrat Bentley Summerhays (Steven Boyer), she longs for adventure, which she finds when a plane piloted by the dashing Joey Percival (Michael Brusasco) crashes into her family’s home…
Stark’s nuanced performance has already received raves, including from The New York Times, which called it “wonderfully spirited.” Yet the Northwestern theater graduate, whose credits include Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s 2007 production of “The Crucible,” tries to keep reviews in perspective, good or bad. “Critics are the only ones who honestly tell you what they think,” she says. “But it doesn’t really get under my skin. It feels really public and that can be embarrassing, but nobody remembers.”
