The resulting public scrutiny was painful, she says, but it was the ideal grounding to step into the shoes of presidential widow Mary LincolnBathed in the fluorescent glow of a rehearsal studio on the south bank of the Thames, Keala Settle is embodying a woman redefining herself in the court of public opinion.
