Kathryn Grayson_Beauty (Ziegfeld Follies 1946)

[Shamsithaca]

what HOT beautiful classy ladies! I want them in my life time. This calls to bring back class on our television screens!

[galaxypirate]

I saw this in the theatre tonight! the small screen does not do it justice! so amazing :D

[bammbamm12]

She sings like one of those cartoon parakeets.

[cupcake101]

Kathryn is a goddess. I hope in Heaven she's making every male angel blush with her beautiful voice!

[OurGangFan]

Actresses back then knew how to look beautiful unlike most these days.

[harvardkarbodie]

is it my ears or did she first inhale helium before she started singing?

[vitweb]

i would like to live when american did moivie like this

[vitweb]

who are two big idiots that click on i don'ì like? shame on you ciao from italy Bologna ( now i'm rimini sea city)

[zeldaofarel]

If I think about the fact that she was only 24 here...

[OurGangFan]

Very Vincente Minnelli!

[teruel82]

Lovely. Her voice somehow reminds me of Snow White.

[EduarquiRJ]

Only Kathryn Grayson, with her voice of crystal and her pure beauty, could make this sequence so completely in harmony with MGM referencial set design to italian artist De Chirico. What a moment of stunning joy you brought for all us, rakal2! Thank you forever and forever again.

[scottlarry]

She looks like a Goddess like Venus...

[ikevyoiPhone3G1996]

I was the Academy Awards and Kathryon Grayson died Feburay 17th I never knew that it's a shame she died. Only a few good actors from this time still live today, sadly most of them are dead.

[voltape]

Kathryn: you were my great love for more than half a century. I look forward to hear you singing in heaven some day!!!

[12CoxJamie]

i wish you were in acomputer game, and that you were in a church and that you prayed the rosary and that you were on a quest to save the world, your my hero

[12CoxJamie]

I love you so much, i wish you were my wife or girlfriend

[12CoxJamie]

Poor Miss Grayson, I just wish with all my heart that all te beautiful girls could be in 3d computer games

[12CoxJamie]

I wish i could see you in heaven Miss Grayson, i wish all the gilrs of the 1940s and 1950s were in computer games

[12CoxJamie]

I certainly wish that society would make 3d computer animation games about these beautiful innocent films, Miss Grayson should be in a computer game, everything changes for the worst I guess

[gnsback]

She must have been called over to a better place. Her voice could melt the hardest heart of the toughest bully, I'd imagine.

Maybe God allows someone so beautiful to stay here awhile to leave us feeling a bit lonely when they depart. The world is a lot emptier for those of us who love(d) Kathryn Grayson. I hope to see you, Nolie, someday.

[m4modern]

This number was always my idea of Heaven, MGM-style, circa 1946. Now, God bless her, Miss Kathryn Grayson is really there to sing with the Heavenly Choir. Thanks for all the years of beautiful song, Dear Lady.

[mca1218]

Well said. And Ms. Grayson (in what must've been a relatively early screen appearance) is heavenly in that lush MGM Technicolor.

[PJCoan]

God, she was beautiful! Rest in peace, sweet lady! You did great!

[rupepill]

Beauty indeed. And not merely in having such a pretty voice and striking looks.

Kathryn Grayson delighted audiences world wide, with her screen and stage appearances. More than that, she was a woman of caring and kindness, and showed those admirable qualities by generously taking into her home the grieving Widow and family of her late and great colleague Mario Lanza. Similarly, she proved to be hospitable and helpful to many people over her time on earth. A great woman.

RIP Beauty

[erichak]

Rip, dear lovely.

You will for ever be so much more then what they are today.

[mookindahouse]

RIP Kathryn. You will be missed

[hajune]

Happy 88th Kathyrn.( Feb 9th) Of course I do not believe you were born . You are an angel that has come here for a while that has graced we mortals in troubled times. How could somebody as beautiful as you sing even better. Only a angel could do that.

[kpyng]

Of all Ms. Grayson's musical contributions, this is one of the very best. Her coloratura voice shines brightly, and always will.

[jdfox1]

Nice.  :)

[friscolobo]

This is one beautiful number, in fact my favorite in this movie. Katheryn Grayson is an angel, and what a voice. They don't make them like this anymore.

[WillScarlet16]

The machine that made those bubbles caused one of the biggest filming disasters ever. The gas from them made the cameraman faint on top of a 40 foot lift, and while everyone tried to save him, the bubbles kept pouring out until no one could get close enough to turn it off, and the fire dept. had to come to shut it down. So the whole number was seriously edited.

[ElectricAceXi]

Her voice is so wonderfully light and lilting!!

[gnsback]

I passed by again to especially thank you for posting this. My comments of praise are already here and at the other Kathryn Grayson tributes. You notice how she flows through her number so effortlessly? At least, she makes it look easy and I think that's part of her appeal. Beauty on par with Liz Taylor and Gene Tierney and the voice of an angel, to boot!

[gnsback]

Some things of the quality of Ziegfeld Follies are only done once in a lifetime.

With the advent of rap and hip hop being considered music (technically it is music) and pro-gay madness, I fear these gems like this excellent Kathryn Grayson one will be the only ones in history, like unique pearls or gems that shine brightly.

[helenajesstarzak]

I just saw "Ziegfeld Follies" for a few

minutes ago on TCM...

I just thought Katherine Grayson`s nummer was great, she sang like an angel and she looked divine!

[mookindahouse]

Cyd Charisse is dancing through the bubbles and Carol Haney (from the OBC of The Pajama Game whom Shirley MacLaine was the understudy for) is one of the Ziegfeld Girls

[areyousatisfied]

"and then someone comes into view

and suddenly, you find it's true

that love is beauty, too!"

Beautiful :D

[fumamachu]

"...that looooooooooooooooooooooooovvvv­e

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiss

beeeeeauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttty­yyyyyyyyy

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[cowgirlinla22]

I love this beautiful song! KG has such an incredible voice. Now I really want to watch the whole movie!! Thanks so much for posting. It makes me so happy to find treasures like this on youtube!!

[26mae1987]

omg kathryn reminds me of 'snow white' she even sounds like her.....so beautiful and talented

[chinagrrl]

this is wonderful! KG is so marvelously lovely! What really impressed me was the everchanging background set in this impressive musical number. It's really well done! Boy, I'd like to see this movie one day!

[Brielle9000]

I love you Miss Grayson

[frosty7530]

This is a remarkable treasure, as we don't have these Zigfield-Berkley-MGMMusical moments anymore. A part of film history that would be lost if it weren't for people like you who contribute to U-Tube. Thank you so much, what an extraordinary clip! The dress & bubbles are 2-2 much & I wish this kitch were still w/us!

[Antimbecil]

I want a woman like her, please god, now...

[mookindahouse]

this number was originally supposed to include fred astaire and lucille bremer but the bubble machine overflowed! (i'm not kidding, look it up!)

[singngurli4jc]

I adore Kathryn soo much!! Wow! Are they actually dancing through bath bubbles? lol! Kathryn was one of the "greats" most definitely. Do they still have the Ziegfeld Follies? and are they as good as they once were?

[frosty7530]

Sadly, we don't, I don't know when the last Zigfield production was staged, but it's wonderful that you enjoy this fabulous fantasy! There are shows in LosVegas, "Reviews" that are influenced by Zigfield, it has gotten very expensive to stage anything near this level of detail. Sometimes Andrew Lloyd Weber will have a "Zigfield" moment in a production like Starlight Express, a wonderful roller-skating extravaganza staged in 1980's.

[jblue705]

frosty7530,

The last official Ziegfeld show was staged in 1956 I believe. Bea Arthur (Maude, Golden Girls) was one of the stars. I think the details are on Wikipedia.

[64102256]

Beautiful voice and beautiful woman. Lovely and sweet to boot.

[rosalin74]

the sound is a bit off note...but vid is ok. this final performance by Kathryn Grayson is great! and the bubble scene is the thematic to other Minnelli's directions. the Myth of Venus...the desire, woman, beauty.

[tez601]

what a beautifull voice
