Mitzi had more talent in her little finger than poor Marilyn, Mitzi has class , what was there to be jealous about, Mitzi was happily married for 52 years, and went on to be an icon, top female earner in Vegas, a multi millionairess, poor Marilyn let herself be used, and died nearly penniless God Bless Her
Thank you,dear,for the beautiful music and lovely pictures.They are pure joy to listen and see!!!You have wonderful musical taste and sense for the real beauty!
basilnelson: Yes, have seen this amazing woman in "South Pacific" many times. I have to think her greatest performances were in the TV production of her "Razzle Dazzle: The Special Years" ('60's & 70's)! Talk about showcasing her talent, gorgeous scenery & even more gorgeous costumes (Bob Mackey?)!
She even appeared 'live' & I was totally awed by her beauty & spirit (yep - found out it was recorded b/4 her hubby died in 2004! Could *not* believe that @ 70+ yrs she still looked so great!
Living in the UK we missed out on a lot of the great American television shows featuring the Hollywood Stars in their later careers.(Ann Sothern was another). We did get Lucille Ball, Loretta Young, William Bendix and several others.
Ive never seen South Pacific, but i have seen her There's No Business Like Showbusiness, and she was a sensational dancer, so talented, her and Donald O'Connor together were magic. It's nice to see a tribute made about a lady so talented, and so underrated. And made so well!! The music and photos go lovely together, especially the photo at 5:32. Great job Baz!
MonroeSmile: Hafta agree w/ U re Gaynor's performance in 'There's No Business Like Showbusiness" w/ greats such as Donald O'Conner, Ethel Merman,Dan Dailey & Marilyn Monroe - tho' Gaynor(in interviews) thought little of Marilyn Monroe's diletannish attitude.
well im sorry, i know Marilyn wasnt a trained dancer or anything like Gaynor, but she was a real star who you always noticed when she was onscreen, Gaynor didnt have that. Sense jealousy there from Gaynor, im surprised
MonroeSmile: Sorry I wasn't clear re Gaynor's opinion re Marilyn. Mitzi's main complaint was re Monroe's very often lateness on the set causing delays for the rest of the cast & crew. And, you're probably correct - Gaynor could well have been jealous of Monroe's "star" power.

Thank you Claudia! More Mitzi Gaynor next week! (I recommend 'South Pacific' if you like music, gorgeous scenery, and romance).
