"Enter a Girl in Yellow.
This is Leigh Zimmerman, tall, poised and sexy, with long legs
to die for- even to die a long and lingering death for. She
is a blonde: a blonde who, as my old friend Philip Marlowe used
to say, could make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window."
John Peter - Sunday Times
"…danced with
sensational charisma by Leigh Zimmerman." The Daily Telegraph"
Leigh Zimmerman's Girl in
Yellow who's all loftily unapproachable. Her voluptuous presence
sets the place and Praed's character humming with erotic tension."

star," ...The Scotsman

been born it's Leigh Zimmerman - the long-legged explosion of

Velma Kelly." ...Daily Express

| "We
saw a wonderful thing. We saw a huge genuine West End star being
born. Even in the kind of cast that renders the job of critic
a sinecure, she stood out. When she is on Stage if someone wanted
to announce who raped Corries' Toyah. you wouldn't listen. She
has a voice as great as her legs, balls and beauty in equal amounts
and the kind of classy sexiness you imagine faded out with the
end credits on 'Gilda'. She is a 24-carat thrill to watch and
her name is Leigh Zimmerman." ...The Scotsman |

her sexuality like a weapon as Velma…" Metro |

Favourite, Leigh Zimmerman combines classic beauty, comedic timing
