I recall her stomping around Washington Heights when John Lindsay was running for Mayor in NYC. Apart from her work in the theater, she really did NOT know how to pick 'em politically--GOD--was he awful.
You should read some of Earnest Borgnine's (married to her for about a whole 50 days!!!!) thought sare on Ethel--WOW!!

Today, the term "actor" can be a man or woman, but at this time, "actor" meant male only. females were supposed t be called "actresses".

Alan Ludden has one of those instantly recognisable voices. Even after all these years since he's passed, I'd still know it in a second.

@panhead1219 That fellow thinks he's Ethel Merman! (Funniest moment in the whole film, if you ask me!)

This is another CLASSIC CLIP of a wonderfully classic series. Merman has never looked so feminine and pretty as this vid. And no one ever, ever has been as charming and complimentary and suave as John Charles Daly. Thanks for the post, NorbertR33!!!!!!! I praise your efforts.........

Ethel Merman's cameo in Airplane is as legendary in her ouvre as anything she did on stage.

Did you notice that at 1:58 Ethel Merman put her hand in John Daly's lap ... and he began to smile broadly. Details at 11.

Dorothy should have asked "Do you have the whole world on a plate?" Or "Is there no business like show business?" ;-)
-
She had the loudest, most spectacular stage voice. Miss her so much.

Thank heaven, they have restored "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World? to most of its original 200 minute length. It loses a lot on the small screen, though; Stanley Kramer originally filmed it in Cinerama. The film is too much of a good thing, really, but Merman got a great finale exit in that film.
The combination of lousy acoustics and Merman's vocal disguise does the trick. Classic stuff. Hackett! Berle! Y A Tittle! of all people (who did appear on WML within a couple of weeks).
