Rae Shapiro McIntosh was introduced to theater by her mother.

III n 1953, all the world
was a stage for six-year-
old Beverly Rae Sha-
piro, and she, a player
on it.
"I don't remember ever not
being interested in acting"
she said. "I did it when I was
in first grade. I always used to
take costumes to school and
put on little plays."
Now married, Rae Shapiro
McIntosh has expanded her
worldly stage to include
modeling.
"I like modeling tremen-
dously," she said. "I've been
modeling for the past three
years. I enjoy 'runway work,'
getting out there, strutting
your stuff and having center
stage for half of a minute."
Growing up in Oak Park,
McIntosh was exposed to
theater at a young age by her
mother, Pearl, who used to
perform in several B'nai
B'rith productions as a
member of Morgenthau
Chapter. Her mother also ap-
peared in Women's American
ORT shows.

"My parents were always
interested in theater, and
they would often take my
sister and me to see
musicals," McIntosh said.
It wasn't until her junior
year at Oak Park High School

when McIntosh's interest in
acting peaked.
"I attended a mass com-
munications seminar at
Michigan State University
the summer before I entered
the 11th grade, and that was
kind of the impetus for my ac-
ting endeavor," she said.
At the seminar in East Lan-

sing, she performed in Angel
Street and portrayed Eliza
Doolittle in Pygmalion.
She then returned to Oak
Park High School and tried
her hand in its productions.
First came the role of Mrs.
MacAfee, in the musical Bye
Bye Birdie her junior year. As
a senior, she played the

female lead, Maggie Cutler,
in the comedy The Man Who

Came To Dinner.

After graduating from Oak
Park High in 1965, McIntosh
attended the University of
Michigan and then Wayne
State University where she
received a Bachelor of Science
degree in speech and theater.
As a student at WSU, she
performed in Lorca's Blood
Wedding at the Bonstelle and
starred as Martha in Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at
the Hilberry Studio.
In 1968, McIntosh, then 21,
performed in The King and I,
portraying Anna, her favorite
role.
"I saw the movie when I
was nine and fell in love with
the entire production," she
said. "But I had to wait 12
years until I actually got to do
it myself. I love the music, and
I love doing lavish-costume
musicals. I've always felt very
close to the role of Anna."
During Livonia/Redford's
production of The King and I,
she met her future husband,
David McIntosh, also a
member of the cast, and seven
years after getting to know
him — getting to know all
about him — they were
married.
"I think a big reason for
Rae's success is her ability to
