Winokur Begged to Do 'Dancing'
Marissa Jaret Winokur didn't have to be swayed into being on "Dancing with the Stars."
Actress Marissa Jaret Winokur poses on the press line at the Dancing With The Stars panel discussion at PaleyFest 2008.
"I keep hearing these stories how people turned it down a few times," Winokur said at the William S. Paley Television Festival on Friday. "I banged on their doors. 'Please let me do this show. Please! Please! Please!' It's lived up to all my expectations."
The 35-year-old actress, who won a Tony Award in 2003 for playing Tracy Turnblad in Broadway's "Hairspray," strained to speak during the panel because she said she's beginning to lose her voice.
"I just talk too much," joked Winokur, who's partnered with professional dancer Tony Dovolani on the show.
