Ms. Stark is a Manhattan-based singing actress. She debuted in the original production of "Dames At Sea" that launched Bernadette Peters. She co-starred off-Broadway in "Your Own Thing" and "I Can't Keep Running In Place" and on Broadway with Angela Lansbury in "A Little~ Family Business." It was playing a club singer on the soap opera "Love Of Life" that gave her the audience to do cabaret. Soon, though, she became less interested in 'performing' songs than in singing them with the same simplicity she heard in Maxine Sullivan.

Maxine Sullivan sang jazz with a smile in her voice and a lilt that seemed to dance on air. From 1937 - when she swung a Scottish folk song, Loch Lomond, into the top ten - until she died fifty years later, Sullivan was the most casual, no-nonsense singer in her field. Early on, she appeared in films with Dorothy Lamour and Dick Powell; on Broadway along side Louis Armstrong; in a CBS radio series with bandleader John Kirby, the first of her four husbands. But she had no airs. Sullivan lived in the Bronx, and came to gigs in her baseball cap and sneakers. Like Ella Fltzgerald, she left her personal angst home; she wanted to make People feel qood.
