Her costume is bizarre. Her baby talk and lisp are ludicrous. Definitely not her best work.

I suppose a commentor named PaddyPig69 knows all about the great Mary Martin -- a longer standing personal friend than Gaynor no doubt. To what do you attrubute this garbage? Source? Documentation? Yes, they were friends; that's what's documentable.

Hagman will probably never write about mary martin, they did not have a good relationship, he was very homophobic and hated her long term relationship with Janet Gaynor

The Doss Heritage and Culture Center in Weatherford Texas is trying to put together a permanent exhibit for Mary Martin in their museum. They're raising funds and gathering artifacts now

Fabulous, the Reagan's were the last enlightened republicans. Since then a bunch of knuckle dragging mouth breathers.

Funny that Elaine Paige is there. She'd yet to appear on Broadway.

Magnificent moment at the White House. Thank you so much for giving us this glimpse of the great Mary Martin - a true star at every age.

Thanks for this great post! Of course Mary was JR's mom(larry Hagman)...I wonder why Larry Hagman never wrote a book about his Mom...maybe someday. I'll always hold a special place for Mary as Peter pan!!!! Ty for the post!
