Former Olympian Cathy Rigby on InnerVIEWS with Ernie Manouse 

I wish I could meet her one-on-one some day just so that I could tell her how much her playing Peter Pan has affected my life. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be persuing theatre and I CERTAINLY would not be willing to play a dude in a musical! Haha! I love her so much! She's awesome!

Happy 65th Birthday Cathy

I saw her a couple of days in Vancouver Canada doing a slightly abbreviated, but AMAZING version of Peter Pan. She's 62 now and is as limber and athletic, and was doing acrobats left and right that made you feel super out of shape. Yes, it is odd seeing a 62 year old woman playing a little boy, but I just loved it and I love and admire her.

She has always been very articulate

My cousin :)

Cathy Rigby attended Los Alamitos High School at the same time Susie Atwood was attending my school, Long Beach Millikan. They were the only two very young locals who made it to the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Millikan was a 3-year Baby Boomer school with 4,400 students in it and I only caught a glimpse of her one time late one afternoon when she was walking out of the girls' locker room to the parking lot. Susie probably sacrificed her entire social life in order to reach the heights she did in her sport. Susie had massive shoulders from spending so much time working out in the water. Cathy and Susie made it to the big time in so many ways, tearing down every wall. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xMH6z63eYhQ.html

Wow she really changed from when she was 22 on Tattletales with her first husband

Interesting they don't mention her struggle with eating disorders.

:)))

She looks so much like Marlene Dietrich!

Yeah, that fairy dust is a killer to get out of the carpet and curtains!
