Oh man, I just love Shirley Bassey, here she is in 2007, age 70.
Billie Burke was born on this day in 1885. Here she is in “Dinner at Eight.”
I’ve been waiting for someone to post some Libby Holman video on YouTube, but I just learned that Libby Holman never allowed herself to be filmed. Her Reynolds tobacco heir husband died of a bullet in the head; his family asked that charges against Holman be dropped. Their only son, Christopher, fell off a mountain to his death in 1950. Holman was one of the best torch singers of the era. Here she is with “Moanin’ Low.”
Sid Caesar (88 next month) and Nanette Fabray (90 in October) — live TV, baby.
