BETTE DAVIS & BERT LAHR HOLLYWOOD PALACE 1965

The Great Bette Davis made her second of three appearances on the vaudeville-inspired 60s TV show Hollywood Palace on February 20, 1965. In addition to opening the show with a live rendition of her current record, Single and serving as hostess of the evenings festivities, Miss Davis co-starred with the legendary actor/vaudevillian/cowardly lion Bert Lahr in a skit called Jealousy which Miss Davis had previously starred in in 1952 as part of her Broadway comeback, Twos Company. Enjoy this rare piece of sketch comedy from The First Lady Of The American Screen, and VIVA LA BETTE!!

The first time I saw this sketch was on the Hollywood Palace in 1965, and years later Don Adams and (I think) Carol Burnett played the same sketch, but were not quite as unlikely a pair. Carol and Art Carney did a spin on the same theme on the Carol Burnett Show: Art played a "debonair" garbage truck driver, and Carol was his swooning, love-smitten, jealous wife.

All good, but this version is my favorite and it holds up: still funny after all these years!

Thanks for posting it!
