One of the first "adult" shows I saw as a child was Elaine Stritch as Mame in Boston. I remember looking at my mother during intermission and saying, "Isn't she more of a Vera?" LOL What a treat to see this here.

and this is why I love you tube! what a treasure! I forgot that she had played Mame. One of my favorite characters. I grew up watching the Rosalind Russell film. I could probably still quote most of it. "Live! Live! Live! LIfe is a Banquet and most poor SOBs are starving to death." Doesn't that just sum up Elaine Stritch, too!

Elaine Strich is kind of notorious for flubbing the occasion lyric. Unfortunately, I think it was mostly due to her substance abuse. But she really was a legend

@@MsDefectiveToaster She really was! I remember finding 'Elaine Stritch at liberty' jaw dropping, both because of her talent and her honesty about alcohol dependence. Great lady

She’s doing all the parts so the bbc didn’t have to pay additional vocalists. Normally this has a lot of help.

Back when Stritchie was still drinking on the job. But what a job she does!
@ah7910 Жыл бұрын
She never drank ‘on the job’. She explains in her one-woman show she limited herself to two drinks a day when she was working, if that. What a lazy and irresponsible comment.
@Norvo82 Жыл бұрын
@@ah7910 Revisit her one woman show... She clearly tells us that she only had 2 drinks before and/or during a performance. "Anywhere else, who cares, who's counting. But up here: 2 drinks."
