I had just arrived in New York Wednesday afternoon, but that is not a good excuse to be so uninformed.
But, I did see "The Great Society" Thursday night. Brian Cox was wonderful as Lyndon Johnson. And I remember his struggles for civil rights, and far worse for some black families, Vietnam.
What else can you call it when you "correct" me when I was actually there?
Also, it was the only time I saw Lillian Gish, Dorothy Hammerstein, Josh Logan, Maria von Trapp, Robert Preston, Helen Hayes, George Abbott and Van Johnson on stage.
Martin sang about ten songs and also sang with her daughter, Heller, on Porter's song "True Love." And with Nancy Reagan on "Mountain High, Valley Low." Some years before, Martin and Ethel Merman performed a full concert for charity, entitled "Together on Broadway." There's a recording on concert.
I saw "Our Hearts Belong to Mary." So once again you are arguing with someone who was actually there in 1985.
