"I wanted to be who I am," says Vilanch -- judging from his career, it's clear that if he'd dreamed of doing something else, he'd have achieved it. "I wanted to star on Broadway," he says -- and he has, as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray. "I wanted to win an Oscar," but in the meantime he's written for 23 Oscar telecasts. "I've won Emmys..." -- six, all told -- "but I've always wanted a life of variety." Having penned jokes for just about everyone -- Paul Lynde, Donny and Marie Osmond, Dolly Parton, and every imaginable Oscar host and presenter -- he'll have plenty of variety -- and dish -- for his upcoming memoir.
