Currently, whenever a blonde celebrity goes slightly brunette, she is praised for "reinventing" herself. How stunning it must have been for audiences to see Miss Garland to make this breathtaking transformation, from a woman looking older than her years, wearing tent-like dresses and too much ma...

I agree. I thought the women seemed incredibly ignorant about the basics I thought everyone must surely know by now about domestic violence. Equally incredibly, they managed to make it all about themselves, saying that they didn't know how to behave around Russell after Taylor reached out and c...

This is why we should cherish the few people left who actually knew these people. I've read in more than one book that Crawford was punished with the role of Crystal in "The Women". These gentlemen, as much as I've admired their other work, resource the same information available to all of us, ...

It couldn't have been easy; Frank was a handful, the kids resented her. She lasted probably because she was tough.

Gawd, this used to be the one place on the American entertainment landscape where I wasn't being sold things all the blinking time.

"Effortless" indeed. He worked hard.

Oops! I mean Joyce Randolph

@MissGoldenDreams13

You and me both!

He was always so joyous on stage. He seemed to love to be there.

They kind of remind of Martin and Lewis, only in that they talked to each other, and played to each other.

Oh, she was so brave. Remember when she kept performing after having a leg amputated? And I think she had a bout with cancer, too. She would show up on TV making hilarious hospital jokes - so gutsy.

@brittquin2009

I'm not quite sure, but I think she is joking about the "business" of show business - that Miss Garland's "people", as well as the technical people, all excited to be around an Academy Award nominee, felt free to boss around a nurse, a medical professional, on her own turf.

Closed captioning is still so poorly done.

You two are in my Will.

Lovely tribute.

As much as I love Cybill, Ms. Baranski walked away with this series. Her "Maryanne" was a forerunner of "Will and Grace's" Karen Walker.

@PunchyPlayers

There are so many things to enjoy, I only caught Liza's expression on my 10th go-round!

Oops! It's January of '64.

For years, people said that anyone who did an Ed Sullivan impression was really doing an impression of Will Jordan doing Ed Sullivan.

That step at 13:37 is the greatest.

That's me Frank is lookin' at, at 1:58. Me.

@AtoZornumber0through

That's the "Tonight" show's orchestra leader and one of the finest trumpet players, Doc Severenson. He filled in for the show's "announcer" (Mr. Carson's sidekick and straight man) Ed McMahon, when Mr. McMahon did not work.

"I love doing it with Viv" BWAHAHAHA.

I think the only reason guys do the big, hokey, dramatic scene in which they pull apart fighting men is because eventually the guys in the fight would have to say, "Uh...wanna stop now? Oh, okay. Bye."

My doctor has made it official: I can stop taking my anti-depresssant if I watch a PunchyPlayers production every day.

She is so brilliant. She makes you wonder why you bother finishing sentences - it's so unnecessary, because...

I impersonate Gregory Peck to get out of doing boring things. Just make fists, and refuse to do something on moral grounds: "I swear, with God as my witness, that have never checked the oil on an automobile, and I never will!"

It gets you out of anything.

"On all that is holy, I swear that I ...

"I love London!" from the Jack Paar "Tonight" show interview in London. I don't know how you do it. It's beyond belief.

Utterly brilliant!

@Jonathanbroder

Oh, yes - we lost at love and fell; now we say What. The. Hell. [Sings Duke, as she turns her back to the audience and throws her arms open wide.]

@txquis

That's you? You're a genius. Genius! And have you noticed that in every Hepburn movie, whenever she has to get angry, all she can muster is a growly but ultra feminine "Ooooooooooooooh!"?
