She was famous because of the success of "Gypsy" on Broadway, based on the vaudeville careers of her and sister/actress June Havoc. The burlesque came later.

Yes that is right, she made all the costumes herself, wrote the act, she was a very hard worker and an incredible woman and wonderful mother. You are right, she changed the form of burlesque at that time for burlesque dancers used to bump and grind their hips a lot and this was considered inappropriate at that time to many people but Gyspy Rose Lee brought in the strip tease act which meant she believed in not showing nudity but keeping the mystery of her body going by stripping slowly, with modesty, using humor and dialogue and using a tease like performance to keep it more exciting. She believed one didn't have to be naked to be a good burlesque dancer and she was right.

I'm surprised that no one then or now has mentioned that Ethel Merman's role in "Gypsy" was as Rose, the mother of Gypsy Rose Lee. This is one of the rare shows where the "title" role is not the star part. Sandra Church played Louise/Gypsy. Merman was 50, Church 20; the show is about the early years of Louise and sister June. Gypsy herself was 47 when this was first broadcast. It should also be mentioned that she was the author of the source material, her memoirs, on which the musical play was based.

One of the more hilarious songs was "Jose, can you see?"

I think it's a bit of a stretch to claim that a newspaper advice column has "nothing to do with entertainment." I hope that the vast majority of newspaper readers are seeking amusement rather than specific help from columns like this. At least by the time I moved to the Bay Area for grad school in the late 1970s, the advice columns in the San Francisco papers were more witty than wise, it seemed to me. I never read "Entre Nous" so I may be unfair to Ms. Benoit's column.

In fairness, Dorothy Kilgallen did correct herself in the "Good night"s at the end of the show. But, as to her added remark, "I was thinking of that other movie that he's in now," I have no idea which one she could be talking about. Doris Day was the lead female in Gig Young's two films prior to ASK ANY GIRL (those two films being THE TUNNEL OF LOVE and TEACHER'S PET), and the lead female in his next film of 1959, THE STORY ON PAGE ONE, is Rita Hayworth. Nor did Debbie Reynolds co-star with Gig Young in any of his drama anthology series appearances during 1958 or 1959.

I remember Gig Young from my childhood. Even before his killings it was well known that he had demons. Living at a time when there were virtually no medications, compared to today (2018) they were very hard to treat. Maybe electroshock, lithium (nasty side effects, etc.) were the order of the day. Most afflicted took to self medication with alcohol. It was a living hell for the poor souls.

BLAIR M Schirmer There was little doubt that Gig Young had a lifetime of demons which he couldn't get effective treatment for. I grew up in the '60s and his ongoing psychiatric problems and history thereof were no secret whatsoever. Even the newspapers entertainment sections no longer paid attention to it after a while since there was no secret. I felt great sorrow, and still do, for his wife as she surely loved him enough to stay with him and try to obviate the demons and to give him a quality of life once more. No one was surprised really at his way of solving his problem, although why he killed his wife too no one knows. In the end, suicide under his conditions is the ultimate form of protecting oneself from oneself. Today, anti-depressant and anti-psychotic medications are large money makers. Seems like half the U.S. is on one anti-depressant or another. Alleged? It was approximately a 99% lock that he did the deed. As I said, I was born in the late '50s and grew up to hearing about his condition throughout the '60s. Also, what motivation would someone else have to perpetrate this? As for him not seeming troubled, remember that actors are the very best at hiding such conditions.

@MrSting17 way too many Hollywood stars took to the bottle. Maybe they thought it would get them through tough times. Unfortunately it took them down a rocky road. There are better ways! Try praying!

Many years ago therapists used to have people try to speak clearly despite having marbles in their mouth. Eliza Doolittle had to recite a passage this way. She swallowed one & Henry Higgins put more in her mouth.

bookwoman53 The classic example is the ancient Greek orator Demosthenes, who practiced speaking with pebbles in his mouth to overcome a stammer, according to Plutarch.

Neil Midkiff I’ve heard about that. It doesn’t look easy though. Very easy to swallow one or choke.

Topps: makers of bubble gum packaged with a Bazooka Joe comic and baseball cards that were popular in the 1950's. (The gum in the baseball cards was of inferior quality.) I could never figure out why Mort, one of Joe's friends, always wore the top of his turtleneck sweater pulled over his mouth.

Dorothy along with Darlene Francis made this show. Women from this period used their intelligence to their advantage much better than they do now, then that was the alternative.

Even in 2023 Mrs Benoit wearing a risky bosom revealing dress would be too much. How did they allow it back on a modest 50s family TV game show? 😮
