Sixty plus years ago, Gertrude Lawrence starred in musicals by the Gershwins, Kurt Wheill and Rodgers & Hammerstein Her husband owed a Summertheater on Cape Cod and Gertie appeared there frequently in musicals and plays. Thus her name was frequently in the news. Mary Martin and her husband owned the rights to Maria von Trapp's life story and worked with Rodgers and Hammerstein together. Not sure if actors are so involved financially now. But stars stay with musicals when they understand the financial aspect of musicals and plays, I think. Lawrence died when she was still the star of "King and I."

In a March 19 interview his son Anthony said he would not "execute" his dad. Did he change his mind? And only agree to be there.

Sadly, Patrick only won the two slam events, still a very significant achievement

I liked "Gypsy" from the first moment back in August 1960 with Klugman, Church and Merman

I greatly enjoyed Bob Avian's book. Especially his experience with Kate Hepburn, who apparently couldn't sing or dance.

Does Doctor Anthony Fauci agree with you!

Many people thought Ethel Merman was Jewish' but she had said "Gypsy" was her last new show. Merman was an Episcopalian.. I liked Liza Minnelli in "Florida, The Red Menace", but wasn't until 1965, I think.
