"I always had a fantasy life of moving to New York City and being an actor. I had leads in high school and wanted to move to New York, but my parents said no," Becky Ann Baker said. So she enrolled at WKU, where in addition to theatre, she was a voice minor and toured with the WKU choir. "I had an amazing experience," Baker recalled.
