Treat revealed to me at family dinner that I was in Hair on Broadway the first time we collaborated on @bluebloods_cbs. I referred to myself as the ‘Frank Mills’ girl. He started to sing. He recognized every word. But I didn’t. What a wonderful, compassionate, and gifted artist. Berger, get to bed right away. ”.
