Judy Holliday "My Funny Valentine"

I first stumbled upon this lovely blond when I saw "Born Yesterday" for the first time ever on TCM. Despite having been made famous for playing the quintessential "dumb blond" Holliday had an IQ of 172 and was quoted as saying, "You have to be smart to play a dumb blonde over and over and keep the audience's attention without extraordinary physical equipment."

Love ya Judy!!! :)

I absolutely love Judy Holliday! She is fabulous! But the singer of this version is Barbra Streisand.

Yes, I know that, the tribute "My Funny Valentine" is to Judy however. :)

absolutely this is Streisand. Nobody has ever had a voice like hers.

At first I thought "well Barbra Streisand must have listened to a lot of Judy's albums".....but I think someone messed up and this IS Streisand. Not Judy. Barbra's breathing technique and upper range are unimitatable.

Just saw the revival of "Born Yesterday". It was good but doesn.t compare to the original. Judy Holiday was brilliant int it! I will never forget her! A comdedic genius!

Umm....this is Barbara Streisnad.

Judy Holiday could sing, within her range and was great.

But this ain't Judy.

Trust and old queen on this one.

She sounds amazing :)

My mom showed me Born Yesterday when I was a child.

It's one of my favorite movies.

Thanks !
