The Great Madeline Kahn

[pendragonshall]

Title says it all. Thank you for posting. She is missed and I for one look forward to meeting her in Heaven!

[alladdin53]

I miss Madeline Kahn :( I met her at an opening of a condo on Park Ave 1985 ! I approched her and she was walking with a sexy girl Hmmm ? and I could not help myself by complimenting her on the movie Young Frienkenstien. The part I liked was the time she was pined down on the ground by Frankenstien 'soo funny" I asked her to sing us a little of that song lol ,she looked at me with such a sweet smile and and carresed my faced and said not tonight darling ! ♥ Ohh I miss you very much Mrs Kahn!

[camelia516]

Amen. Madeline is my all time favorite. Thanks for sharing.

[pauldrake2511]

who aings tis song?



[1969SL]

Thank you for this,when I was a kid I had a really serious crush on her. I still think she was beautiful.

[MrZetteke]

Hate the song.. (sorry) .. love Madeline ! She was, and shall remain, amazing, beautiful, wonderful and most importantly funny forever!

[dansalvatori1974]

My kid starting crying when he saw this. he's 8 and he loves all the mel Brooks movies and he had a little crush on Madeline. She will be missed

[maddyandpocketkitty]

I was named after her, so I feel special when I watch her movies or hear her singing it is so neat.

[DyreStraits]

And 'What's Up Doc' was Madeline's film debut and one of my most favorite movies.

[MissMom4evr]

I love this lady. Madeline was a comedy icon and she is definitely missed.

[Rockgod1970]

The closest thing to her in terms of talent and comedic chops is Megan Mullally. And she still couldn't fill her shoes. Madeline Kahn will always be one of the best and will always be missed. Great choice of song. :)

[Nansbbgrand]

FABulous tribute to Madeline! She made me laugh myself to teears, and aching ribs she was so funny! ..the photo at 1:30 gave me goosebumps..caught me off-guard..two such genius comediennes, ..legends, gone so sadly soon. In honor of them we gotta keep laughing!!!

[Texasfilly101]

Thank you for sharing that beautiful tribute to the one 'n only great Madeline Kahn. I'm so lucky~ I share her birthday.

[alneal100]

Thanks for making this beautiful tribute. She was a talented,lovely, and remarkable woman. It is sad indeed that she left us so soon.

[actresstobe1991]

Uh! Thank you so much for posting this! I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE Madeline fan and I just can't get enough of her! Such an amazing talent! She is who I aspire to be! R.I.P. Madeline. I wish I could have met you.

[alneal100]

What a lovely and talented woman. What a loss!

[einnocjoe1]

THANK YOU FOR THE PICTURES. I WILL MISS HER AND GILDA. TWO VERY FUNNY LADIES.

[ianmac64]

I love Madeline. Thanks for posting this video. :)

[Aryanperse]

woof to your beauty Madelin.R.I.P

[simja099]

amazing..... thanks for doing this. always loved watching MK. sorely missed.. thank you for providing the world with your amazing talent madeline.

[KISSMEMYFOOL69]

Thanks for posting this. Ms Kahn was beautiful and amazing :)

[Sparky1002]

The woman sang one of the most beautiful songs on SNL...layed out on a piano but damned if i can find it or remember the name of it. At the end of it there was nothing but stunned silence as they cut to a commercial. I think it was also the episode that included a tribute to Anwar Sadat where they had a video of an old arab cleaning up the assassination site and the camera froze on him as he dumped a white dove into a trash-can. SNL at its best.

[monielove14]

i just luv her n r.i.p. ms.kahn u will be greatly missed!!

[RowdEman]

I, too, am grateful for your wonderful homage to this fine human being and hilarious actress. Damn, I miss her.

[hockeyham3]

One of my favorite actresses...gone way to soon. Thank you.

[CamFlame18]

you know, i don't think there's any sadder celebrity death than that of a comedian. bernie mac's death still tears me up! we lose these beautiful people far too early :(

[susuemikado]

I will never forget Madeline!...gone much too soon...love you Miss Kahn!...you will always be a hero of mine...

[birdgirl2014]

Her and Gilda Radner together on SNL was amazing!!!!

[gussyred]

an amazing actress who's talents we were so lucky to see! Hollywood didnt know what they had with both Madeline and Gilda! Too underused as seering talents who, with a simple pout or flick of the eye, eclipse so many of today's "stars". A true legend!

[weav8060]

the smartest comedian -- her comedic pauses, he straight eyes and sense of irony, he body language. holly cow!

[adamfirebear]

she also has an incredible voice. check out 'you'd be surprised' with her singing. does anyone know of any other recordings or performances besides her performances with the muppets of her singing?

[joronajeblet]

@adamfirebear check out the on the twentieth century soundtrack she played the leading lady and had some good songs on that! and her verison of getting married today is on a cd called broadway divas!

[adamfirebear]

@joronajeblet hey thank you for the advice!!:)

[SoCalGal52]

She was so damn funny. I miss her very much and was so sad when she passed away. She and Gilda were two peas in a pod, two of the funniest people on the planet. Watch Madeline and Johnny Carson together, classic.

Nice video, very sensitive but also shows her somewhat bawdy personality and comedy. RIP, Madeline.

[spikefoster0]

this post is great, thanks, she was brilliant!

[dragonflySummer09]

We all miss her...... my favorite role I saw of her was in "What's Up Doc?" with Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Streisand.....one of the funniest movies I've seen....

[kaitlynAlipps]

I actually didnt know that she had died until a couple of weeks ago. Me and my dad were watching Blazing Saddles, and at the end of it we watched the special features. And they were talking about Madeline Kahn in past tense. So I looked it up and found out she died of cancer in 1999. My mom didnt even believe me when I told her, and she had to look it up for herself to believe it. We lost another great comedian, Madeline Kahn will always make me laugh. RIP

[maaatylda90]

Very emotional tribute to talented actress and this song is ideal!

I invite for my profil, I made too tribute for Madeline.

[child1959]

Madaline was my favourite comedy actress. Her voice was unique and when she sang it was beuituful. I saw her in all her films as a teenager growing up in the 60, 70, and 80. When I heard the news I cried as I felt like a small part of me had passed away.

[n1bsey]

yeah.... shes sadly missed, a brillant comic actress.. her timing was spot on.... check her out on the muppet show, shes really funny....

[dltodd1966]

Madeline Kahn was so great. I had a crush on her as a kid. May she R.I.P. Thanks for the tribute..

[Varlet09]

Wonderful tribute to a great actress who will never be forgotten!

Thank You!

[kewlscot]

Good tribute, to a brilliant, specatcularly tallented, gifted, beautiful, funny woman, one of her best lines was in Blazzing Saddles,

Eh!! Tell me shatzi, is it twoo, what they say about the way you people are gifted? Ohh ith's twoo!! ith's twoo!! ith's twoo, ith's twoo!!

this line could not have been delivered better, always makes me laugh.

[pmb22gma]

Oh Madeline was on Swedish TV in the late 80s or early 90s. I loved it, well her really. Her comic timing was so perfect! Love her voice and ... well thanks for posting!!!

[mylovelydame21]

I love Madeline Kahn... she was a class act... and a hard one to follow. When she passed away, I was so sad. She was such a talented, lovely lady. RIP, m'am...

[chrismc410]

How did she die? As I recall she wasn't that old.

[Ally14Queenie]

She died of ovarian cancer and was 57, i think

[genesis3ab]

you all have said what i wanted to say!!! rest in peace

[raiseyourfreakflag09]

god bless madeline kahn! omg i was so sad when she passed away! =( i hope shes having a good time in heaven!

[solnegrolunaroja]

I am a very sad person, I had very few happy moments. One of that moments is when she meets the Frankenstein monster and sings "Oh, sweet mystery of life". I also remember "Yellowbeard" and "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother". I´ll miss her so much but I'll stilll remember you with love and laughter

[hyperliss18]

I just have to say i am very happy to see it's not just me that still grieves and misses her-sugar240682- I loved your comment. As for wilder fan, i love your video and the song was perfect. when i first saw this video i CRIED SO HARD mainly because it was so perfect in describing my grief for her being gone but my remembrance of her and looking at her now as my guardian angel. Thank you for this video and thank you Madeline for what you've done for us.

Anyone know where i can find Oh Madeline

[sugar240682]

Ok, here goes. Madeline, I discovered you when I visited my ex-fiance's family in America. I had never been to America before, and watching you over the Christmas holiday - I discovered the most beautiful, most funny and talented actress. My partner and I were in the middle of breaking up, but we tried to keep it together, and for a few days, you kept us together through our laughter. Thank you for allowing me revisit those amazing feelings whenever I watch you. THANK YOU. May you rest in peace.

[celluloidjunkie13]

anyone know the rilm from 1;21??? please let me know... i thought i had seen EVERYthing she had done!

[maaatylda90]

1:21 - from Nixon

[Ally14Queenie]

Wow, she was such a wonderful actress!

I never heard of her until my dad made me watch blazing saddles...and about two minutes into the "I"m Tired" song she sung i was on the floor laughing. such a talented person and very underrated! We need more Madeline Kahn type people in the world!!!

Great vid, thanks for the upload!

[WesleyCappiello]

She was amazing. I also feel bad for her husband, imagine marrying someone then they die of cancer less than 2 months later. I love Madeline Kahn so much. My, why must the great die young? Madeline, we will miss you. May you rest in peace. Watching this made me pull out Clue and watch it over and over. She was amazing and made me laugh so much and so hard. R.I.P. December 1999

[DiviniD]

Thank you so much for this tribute :) She left us way too soon!

Missing Madeline, :D

PS - I thought the song was nice...the message was perfect.

[SteelyDug]

I miss her and Gilda Radner so much.........

[animal90sFreak5]

R.I.P. Madleine,you were so funny,I wish you never had to deal with cancer,I know it can be a son of a bitch and painful to live by,I've never had it,But I feel sorry for you old girl,wish you were still around in new movies and tv shows and still making us laugh hard,god bless your sweet soul and may you sleep without pain.We miss you!So sad she passed away only 10 year agos.

[dream1823]

With the greatest respect, how could you use Robbie Williams song to make this video? Madeline deserves better.

[IanLondonscot]

I agree she deserves much better than Robbie Williams. Truly great actress.

[leonivich]

just look at both robbie williams body of work , then do likewise with madeline khan and you'll get your answer

[ricardo203ct]

You're letting your personal views of Robbie Williams get the best of you. The song is beautiful and is a great tribute to Madeline Kahn. Stop being such a cunt. The world would be a better place without you!

[TheOwlBerlin]

Oh, i Love her !!! I only lived in he States for 5 years (between 1980 and 1986 for my University studies) and i remember her so vividly ! She is one of the few actresses who had the gift of comedy in her veins- the minute she walked center stage she made you want to laugh-it's something rare that you can't describe it. At the same time there was a certain '' sweetness'' on her face ....she was trully a charismatic person. Thank you for posting it and thanks to my friend Kestal for sending it.

[carrotjuse]

Beauty, brains and talent.  She had it all.

[richiewillie]

This is gorgeous. She and Gilda - always in my heart. Thank you so much for posting!!

[DiviniD]

YES! I was just thinking of Gilda when I while I watched this! Missing her too!

[Earthlinked]

Best line ever - in History of the World Part 1: "I really love forward harch!"

I'm rolling on the floor!!!

[bubbagaw]

one of a kind and never again

[betterversionn]

Madeline Kahn was probably one of the greatest scene stealers I have seen. When she came on screen, you sometimes forget that there are other actors in the scene.

[MosheNL]

Thanks so much

[songbirdwatcher]

She was a one-of-a-kind miracle. I saw her live on Broadway in the Sisters Rosenzweig and again in Atlanta doing Hello Dolly. She was fascinating in the role of Dolly Levi -- on the final verse of the song Hello Dolly, she added a soprano obbligato over the chorus of the melody of Ah Sweet Mystery of LIfe! It was brilliant!

[mmdillons]

Thanks for your super videos!

Can you repost Madelin Kahn's "Find Me a Primitive Man"? It's one of her best vocals, but there's a problem with the audio. It has a rippling effect -- almost like when an old cassette tape is kinked or doesn't feed smoothly from the reel. (It's not just the vocal; when the music begins, you can hear the distorted trumpet intro with the rippling, "underwater" effect.)

Thanks again for sharing some of the greatest clips on YouTube -- they're priceless gems.

[porkisgood4u]

I love Madeline, she was in Cosby Tv series, I remembered she sang a line with Jeffrey Osborne's woo woo song, she blew the audiences with her voice.

[cinderpelt17]

I LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS! i almost cried. beautiful beautiful beautiful.

[WilderForever]

I'm very glad you liked it! She is totally not remembered enough!

[cc8champ]

oh, mee too!!!!

[jaxwolf0]

that's true. although, those of us that do remember her, remember enough for the whole world.

[kraalomega]

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety

[11777766]

No one could have described Madeline Kahn any better!

[bnehdbob]

i will miss her

[msbre1022]

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

What a tribute. I love that song, and to put it with Madeline.. truly beautiful. She was a star.. all the way baby. Great set of pics!

[Nixlplix]

They don't make 'em like that anymore

[ktpj]

Madeline Kahn was a unique, extraordinary, and beloved talent who is greatly missed. Thank you for honoring her in such a lovely way. She earned all of the praise, appreciation,and devotion that the world willingly and enthusiastically gave her.

Her life enriched ours.

[desidono]

"Flames, flames, on the side of my face..."

Just her inflection and how she pulled that off was incredible. So brilliant.

[jthuot]

"...and Mrs white showed up, looking pale and tragic!"

[angeloflove]

i love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OLIVIA6062]

this made me cry

[BROO666]

[planetery]

I have to turn it off

[ebenezer888]

Taffeta darlin'!

[shepbird00]

Wonderful tribute to a talented and beautiful performer. Madeline Kahn was the funniest woman to ever step in front of a camera.

[susuemikado]

You are so sorely missed Madeline...love you.

[CarrieBradshaw6]

there are many words to describe such a talented woman such as madeline. the first one which comes to mind is of course brilliant. much like gilda radner, madeline was put here for a reason, to make us laugh. madeline was absolutely brilliant at everything she did. she too was taken way too soon. she will leave her mark on the world with her iconic characters, gorgeous smile and her fabulous singing voice.

R.I.P- the amazing, brilliant, talented, gorgeous, beautiful

Madeline Kahn

[WilderForever]

Thanks everyone for the comments on the video. Madeline was AMAZING!

[amichip]

God rest her soul. She had a gift for comedy like nobody else

[whispperson]

[whiskeymedic]

is it me; or was there a curse around someone or something from people who have acted with or around gene Wilder and Mel Brookes - Gilda Radnor, Cancer, Cleavon Little, cancer, Harvey Korman, Cancer, Slim Pickens, Cancer, Madeline Kaign, Cancer, Marty Feldman, Cancer,the guy who was ray romanos dad, Cancer - Terry Garr, Cancer survivor, i mean what are the odds of all these people getting cancer?!

[kraalomega]

I believe Mary Feldman had a heart attack (though I may wrong) can't disagree with the rest though.

[epicadventurehero]
