DRIVING MISS DAISY
by Alred Uhry
“Gautier threw herself into everything from Shakespeare to adventuresome experimental roles. For instance, she cross-dressed to play the male chauffeur in a pre-pandemic production of “Driving Miss Daisy.”

Director Anthony Bean said “Gautier threw herself into everything from Shakespeare to adventuresome experimental roles.
You never knew what she was going to do,” he said,
“She kept you on your toes. She was a hoot.”

“Last year I wrote a script for Adelle Gautier and we made a little film together on a hot summer day. Last week she passed on. I am so heartbroken that she is no longer with us but so thankful she shared her talent and spirit with me. I hope you all enjoy this small piece of her big soul. Thank you Adella Adella Storyteller.”
