Elaine Page net worth
Elaine Page Net Worth: Elaine Paige is an English singer and actress who has a net worth of $40 million. Elaine Page is best known for her work in musicals and has been dubbed “the first lady of British musicals” due to her skill and longevity. She has released 22 solo albums, 8 of which have been certified gold in a row, and 4 are multi-platinum.
Born on 5 March 1948, she grew up in Barnet, North London, and attended Ida Foster Stage School. She’s less than 5 feet tall (which she says caused her to lose her main role). Her original ambition was to become a professional tennis player until she was 14 and heard the soundtrack to the film West Side Story. This sparked a desire for a career in musical theatre. She made her stage debut in 1964 at the age of 16. She made her West End debut in the musical “Hair” in 1968 and went on to play many roles over the next decade, including playing Eva Peron in the 1978 first production of Evita. The work brought her to the attention of the wider public and served as a catalyst for her career. She won the Lawrence Oliver Performance of the Year Award and went on to play Grisabella’s role in Cats. Paige’s version of the musical “Memory” made the top 10. In 1985, she released “I Know Him Well” (a song from the musical “Chess”) with Barbara Dickson, which remains the female duo’s best-selling record. Elaine Paige made her Broadway debut on Sunset Boulevard in 1996, playing the lead role of Norma Desmond to critical acclaim. She also starred in The King and I from 2000 to 2001, returning to the West End six years later in Sleepy Companion. Since 2004 she has hosted her own show on BBC Radio 2 called Elaine Paige.
The demands of Page’s career meant she was never married. The closest she came to settling down was with Sir Tim Rice, with whom she had an open romance of 11 years throughout the 1980s, but it all ended in failure after he failed to leave his wife.
