Patti LuPone is innocent. Although the state of California put a $9,983 tax lien on the Broadway star, “it was a mistake on their part. It is totally not true that she owes the state that amount in taxes,” her publicist tells us. “The taxes in question were paid in full in 2007 when they were deducted from Patti’s payment at the time of a performance. It’s been sitting in the state’s coffers since then . . . This item has caused great upset to Patti, who is meticulous about paying her taxes (as well as a lot of other things).”
