Her De Carlo’s voice is perfect. Just the right amount of weight and brass to carry it off. Kudos of course to Sondheim who wrote it for her voice. Fits like a glove.

As Barbra once said , "To be a star you have to be a movie star!" Name above the title, Yvonne carried her own pictures for many years. Remembered forever on TV.

I saw the original "Follies," and to hear this song for the first time is something that will stay with me forever. The great thing about De Carlo's performance was that she personified every lyric in the song because she was a genuine movie star, and you could believe she went through all the ups and downs. While others can certainly do justice to the song, they don't have the history that she had.

@stephenacs6 жыл бұрын
She noticed my sister who would have been around 14 or 15 at that time. She told her she was pretty. We were with our parents and she then launched into her daughter and the whole deal about having told her she needed to sing and dance if she wanted to be a star. She just seemed (even at my young age) as a little lonely lady who wanted to brag her her daughter. It was very sweet. It wasn't until she did Follies that my mom reminded me of the whole interchange but I do remember it. We were in a crowd and I think waiting for the parade to start

Robert Stephen Browning What an awesome story. Thanks so much for sharing that. I read Yvonne's autobiography who talks alot about her mom Marie so very cool to hear from someone who actually met her. I'm not sure what year your story is from but my guess is that she was there with Yvonne's two boys. I'm a really big fan of Yvonne's so love hearing these stories. Thanks again.

Oh ffs. A feminist is just someone who thinks that women should have equal rights. How do you not GET that, more than 50 years after the second wave of feminism? Or, how do you not SUPPORT that idea? If you're salivating over some quote she made about wifey putting on hubby's slippers and submitting to hubby-Boss, then you're stupidly overlooking reality: She had a career; she was financially independent; she spent most of her life WITHOUT a man in her life; and when her one husband was injured, she became the sole supporter of their family for years. Phuqq you, bigot -- lots and lots. Grow up. Face modernity.
