- Bernadette Peters may have played the Witch in the musical
- Into the Woods, but she's a wide-eyed waif when it comes to
- Slaves of New York, the movie of Tama Janowitz's 1986
- subculture novel, due in March. Though raised in nearby Queens,
- Peters found the film's Manhattan settings alien. "It's a whole
- other world," says Peters. "People live in burned-out
- buildings." Janowitz, who has a cameo, thinks Peters has
- "downtown flair." As for her own movie debut, the author admits
- flubbing her lines, "which was funny because I wrote them
- myself."
