And the other two guests Paxman and Coogan can only look on in silent awe and wish they could be as whip smart and witty as this 76 year old woman for one minute, let alone an entire interview. Wasn't she something? I was lucky enough to see her one woman show at the Old Vic in 2001. She was w hirlwind that surprised, delighted, made you laugh, made you cry, endeared and excited you and then sent you home feeling you'd really lived through something extraordinary. A wonderful woman and that rare thing, a true star. Make no mistake, Elaine Stritch is up there with the best of the best, we shall not see her like again. God bless you Elaine and thank you.

Through all her problems and battles with alcohol, diabetes, unhappy love affairs she shone with a blistering honesty. We just have to love this amazing lady - best version of ' Broadway Baby' I ever heard her give with her low notes sounding like a trombone and a perfect mix of humour and touching reality. If you do not know her work please watch episodes of Two's Company where she and the late, wonderful Sir Donald Sinden as her butler give a masterclass in comic timing

I first saw her in the movie 'Out to sea.' with Mathau and Lemon. Then I looked her up because she seemed very interesting. Then I find alot of material on KZfaq about her. And the documentary ' Shoot me'. I saw that over and over again and just couldn't get enough of her. What great talent! She was a true person, honest and unequivocally down to earth. Just wonderful and more!

She was a part of NYC life for years...often saw her walking around twon...and she's one of the last historian)'s of Broadway's Golden Age.
