Carmen Miranda on The Jimmy Durante Show (1955) - Her last performance - Part 1/2

[IToldHimNotToDoIt]

So bittersweet this is. Carmen is so vibrant and so alive, doing what she was born to do. Even though she was near death filming this show, her presence makes me laugh with delight.

This is the first time I've seen Carmen Miranda without fruit on her person!

Ela é aqui do Brasil, e temos orgulho de Carmem Miranda ter vindo da qui (:

[joaosotiry]

@9lalika Ela por acaso e de Portugal mas costuma-se dizer que Carmen Miranda tinha o corpo de Portugal e a alma do Brasil,

[9lalika]

@joaosotiry Eu sei que ela é de portugal, mais como ela mesma disse ela se criou no Brasil, e ela se sentia muito mais brasileira que portuguesa, pq ela cresceu aqui. (:

What a terrible irony. She sings about "heartache" at the very beginning and, later that same night, she suffers a heart attack and passes away. Oh Gosh, I hope she is having the best after life ever! Hahaha! She deserves it.

Regards from Brazil!

What's a strange coincidence! In this music she is singing in portuguese (a samba called "Delicado") she starts singing exactly this: "When I hear Delicado, i fell a pain just here on my side, just here on my HEART. "

Really, this was the last music she performed ever, and a few hours later, she died by heart attack.

I remember Jimmy Durante but not this show. I only looked up the date because that is the day I was born. I was checking to see if I was born on Sunday or what? K

I remember seeing this show in 1955.

What a professional to finish the show while in agony...she tried so hard to please her fans. Rest in heavenly peace, Carmen.
