You already know Marilyn as an actress famed for stage and screen roles, and as the author of the theatrical caper Rogues and Vagabonds, so it’ s safe to say that Marilyn can truly identify with and capture Ferber’s musical prose and delicious characters – the strong-willed heroine Magnolia, her forbidding mother Parthy, the soft-hearted Captain Andy, and perhaps the most important character of all, the commanding, mystical Mississippi river.
