And rewriting Mrs. Bush's history a second time since @Unicorn has posted on her before.
-
She was First Lady of the United States for four freaking years. That is a significant test. She was compared to Eleanor Roosevelt, Jacqueline Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, Nancy Reagan and (perhaps) Martha Washington.

Barbara Bush was born in 1925. Instead of choosing college in 1943, she could have helped win the war by operating a dangerous machine in a factory. Who knows, one day she might have become a factory owner. Or Barb could have volunteered at her local rationing board, or sold war bonds on the side. Certainly more satisfying than Nancy Reagan getting a small role in a Broadway music with Yul Brynner.

Barbara Bush had six children. She was far more than just a little helpful to her husband. She took a back seat to Nancy Reagan for eight years. Mrs Bush often filled in for President Bush, at least once at The Kennedy Center Honors. My grandmother had eight children. It was not as easy.

"Hello, Dolly" in Vietnam 1965 Mary Martin
+ WilliamM replied to + WilliamM's topic in Live Theater & Broadway
I was in college when "Hello, Dolly" and "Funny Girl" opened. I saw the OBC casts of "Take Me Along" "Gypsy" and "The Sound of Music" in 1960. Yes, I remember when Merman turned down "Hello,Dolly" and whatever the title originally was earlier. So, yes I believe you. And I know Alan Scott from all that chat. I very much enjoyed your comments about Buckley in Dolly. -

I have never seen "Hello, Dolly" on stage, only the film. I enjoyed Richard Skipper's comments.
