Laurence mostly recalls the Broadway hit One touch of Venus, in which she created the role of Molly Grant (1943) and which she helped to revive in concert form in 1984. She also relates the profound influence of recordings of Weill's Dreigroschenoper on her in her youth. In her recollections of Venus, she pays special attention to Agnes DeMille and Mary Martin.
