I have lost all respect and affection for Fanny Brice since hearing she used the N word to the great Josephine Baker when they worked together.

Fanny was already a Ziegfeld star when she introduced this song. Zeigfeld's 'dressing down' really happened. He even rubbed his hands on the stage and then on her face to smudge it up. It is a mystery why this legendary performance was cut short in the movie. Fanny was the star most associated with Ziegfeld. She was in the original and Shubert version of the Follies, this movie and the later "Ziegfeld Follies", and, at Billie Burke's request, represented Flo at the wedding of his daughter.

@AKAdontplay She was Jewish. She started out as a pretty femme fatale and, as she got older, she did comedy in films and on radio, where she didn't need to be pretty just funny.
