Harry Belafonte Th 1959 Carnegie Hall concert is one of the finest live albums ever, and only the second non-classical album recorded at the hall. Harry started as a folk singer, recorded dozens of records, a film star, recipient of the 1989 Kennedy Center Honors. But, he is best known as a civil rights advocate. Most of all Harry Belafonte is an American Treasure. Truly Wonderful

Jack knew when all the movie star bus tours were scheduled daily, so he would visit Lucille Ball and her family in between bus tours. They lived on Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills. The last time I visited Beverly Hills (about 15 years ago) the houses on Roxbury Drive still were completely open to the public. Anyone could have rung Jack Benny's door bell, and he would have likely answered himself --- same for Lucy.

Randy Paar and her mom with Mary Martin in Brazil. Jack Paar traveled for the show more than any other talk show host. Martin and her gay husband lived many hours away from Brasilia -- if Jack Paar was correct, there was only a dirt road. . You may not have read this article about the death of Randy Paar, Jack Paar's daughter, Kenny. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/social-diary/2012/remembering-randy

I have only seen Rigoletto once -- in Europe just after 9/11/2001. While I have no memory of the plot, wouldn't a Verdi opera be worth it despite the plot?

Sad that Zsa Zsa never knew her only child had passed away. It must have benefited the prince not to tell her. (I understand Zsa Zsa may have been incapable of understanding).
