Madeline Kahn on her opera career

[anobaini]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Madeline Kahn is the reason that I've been thinking a lot about the possibilities of a time machine lately. lol. Thanks so much! Dare we hope for more...? ;D

[Lupton2000]

I miss you Madeline:( Seeing CNR in this clip made me remember she died the same week Gene Rayburn died.

[Lupton2000]

I miss you Madeline:(

[SophieD814]

Beautiful, talented, sweet, and absolutely delightful! Madeline Kahn was one incredible woman. Such a shame that she died so young.

[alneal100]

Madeline Kahn is beautiful beyond description.....so I won't even try!

[tedsler]

@alneal100 I would like to second that!

[getoutofmyway01]

pretty lady.. very very pretty...

[Nansbbgrand]

This is the most I've ever seen her talk outside of her movies! She was, from what I'd seen heretofore, very shy and reserved.. Some have even said she only came out of her shell while on stage, or when the cameras were rolling! This was SUPER to see! THANKS!

[Gadzooxtian]

seriously - she'll be my first stop when the time-machine is built... okay second stop, but close second.

[coolspindrift]

We miss you Dear Madeline.

[carrotjuse]

What an utterly charming and lovely woman.

[ugotitbabe000]

This is what Madonna's personality would be if she had class, a college education and talent. lol  They have similar speech patters,,,,,,BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT!!!

[SavannahR8]

Her slight lisp is sooooo adorable!

[enson8502]

I miss her talent. She was the best actress ever.

[circle8]

The movie "Young Frankenstein" was on tonight and she was so great. When she died it was a sad day for entertainment. I really miss here. Her performances just made any film she was in worth watching. God bless Madeline, we loved you.

[Celly222]

Is it just me or does she kinda look like Madonna?

[nsj2103]

Reese Witherspoon kind of looks like her, I think.

[ovimavi]

@nsj2103 they speak very alike and their smiles also.. lol. I thought only I saw the resemblance!

[blunderboy100]

@nsj2103 OMG i never noticed that YES i DO see reese witherspoon and i definitely adore both ladies

[midias12]

Only less crack whore like

[psiprophet]

Madeline Kahn was a stunning beauty and an incredible comedic genius in her own right. I love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drelnis]

Madeline Kahn is an opera singer?

She never sang any operatic roles! All she did was musicals didn't she?

[bassocantante89]

She did Candide

[catwalkcorridor]

The Bavarian Manor. Gold. She's wonderful.

[bluetsunami]

Even the way she talks has this flow and loveliness about it

[cc8champ]

when was this?

[pagaka]

Madeline Kahn and Kitty Carlisle Hart! Does it get any more talented than those two? They are wonderful!

[blinko656]

Right on!

[quidemvir]

She was a genius.

[Julietjeske]

I freaking LOVE her!  She was truly amazing and no one has come close to her yet. She was just breathtaking. She was hysterical, gracious, talented, amazing.

[blinko656]

She was GREAT.

[actingcat]

is there any footage of her singing glitter and be gay? i'd love to see that

[sugar4585]

The Broadway actress Kristin Chenoweth (who incidentally was in Candide too) has a maltese (as in dog) and she named her "Madeline Kahn Chenoweth" because Madline Kahn is her idol.

[jesperlund58]

I am so still in love with Madeline. God I miss her...

[knifecut]

do you have any of the footage of kitty and charles speaking? do you want to buy a boat, charles is hilarious....

[freddygguitarman]

Lilly oh Lilly oh Lilly oh Lilly.

Oh how badly we miss you....

[angeloflove]

i love the way she talks!!!!!!!!!!

[Brinah]

her voice is musical, don't you think?

[angeloflove]

heck ya!

[gayzertube]

Very sexy woman.

[Reggie1971]

I always thought she was very attractive. She had an adorable personality too.

[iluvnola123]

Omg I thought I was the only one who found her to be totally and unbelievably sexy, but I guess not! Gorgeous and seductive!

[pmb22gma]

You're not alone!

[fordude60]

@iluvnola123 I agree with you! 

[shakespeare007]

yeah i'd love to see some more madeline vids up. i might be researching her for a project and any help i can get would be sweet.

[tangobaby]

Hello to everyone in youtube world! Please please please someone post some more Madeline Kahn? Everything I read lately is about how great she is. I love her "Getting Married Today" but I want to hear more and get a feel for her as a singer and an artist. Please everyone, show me what makes her great.

Thanks all! Love,

Tang x

[cosmokramer1987]

I wish I would have had sex with Madeline Kahn.

[djt72ebay]

Oh how Madeline is missed! To think that in early 1999 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and gone by the end of the year....That was just so sad! She was such a beautiful soul. They say...the good die young. Here is a prime example of that!

[SHRINA17]

GOd I miss her. What a talented, talented woman!!!! And so beautiful too!

[trebornosneb]

Sorry I had the pleasure and you didn't. Wish I had a video of that remarkable performance. Long live Madeline!!

[ItalianDivo101]

I love her! That's an amazing story!

[miarsenic]

it's amazing how a voice can be so beautiful and powerful even without notes and melody. when i watched the video i just wanted her to keep speaking and hear what she had to say. she was a real talent... intriguing, sharp, fun, and well ofcourse funny at the same time. i'm glad she "accidently" became an opera singer, that's a great accident

[trebornosneb]

I saw that Kahn's Musetta in La Boheme in D.C. and she was remarkable - totally in control of the notes, and very dramatic in the death scene. She could have had a career in opera if she choose. Terrific lady!!

[seanhayesbaby]

ahh that sso great u got to see her i miss her alot waaa

[AZmermaid]

Madeline Kahn was such a talent and is sorely missed. Thanks so much for sharing !!!!

Magnolia, you rock !

[MercysHollow]

What year was this from?

[magnolia1999]

wow she looked so young, and actually died years before the other two on the panel

[mp01juve]

years before? madeline only died at end of 99

[magnolia1999]

ok and charles nelson reily and kitty carlisle both died this year, so that is 8 years differance, so like I said years before!

[magnolia1999]

ok they both died this year, that is a eight year diff, so like I said years before!

[mp01juve]

8 years is nothing and the phrase they died years after is usually for when both subjects died a fair time ago (ie not this year) more like sal mineo and natalie wood died years after james dean

[magnolia1999]

8 years would qualify as "years"..plural more then one year..why are you being such an idiot

[mp01juve]

"years ago" is a figurative expression,expressing a great quantity of years. it is not literal.

[magnolia1999]

says who!

[magnolia1999]

it can be taken as either..by the way get a life!

[shellycoat]

What do you get out of being such a pedant?

[mp01juve]

i don't see what the drama is about. it was just a simple observation. geeze louise!

[seanhayesbaby]

i love this its so cute love her hair.

[tinie914]

Do you have any more Madeline clips!! Its so difficult to find clips of her outside of film........

[walrustusks]

She was beautiful!
