Gentle Friends one of Broadways real troopers has passed.....
Elaine Stritch - February 2, 1925 - July 17, 2014
Her one woman, Emmy Award Winning show "Elaine Stritch - At Liberty" - 2002 - is so worth a look, stories and songs from her enormous 70 year career - all done wearing black stockings and a white silk shirt with only a chair for a prop, you'll be mesmerized for the entire 140 minutes.
A light goes out on the great white way......missing you already.

ReplyDeleteWhat a dame!!
So very sad--she was a wonder!
ReplyDeleteOh that's sad. I really enjoyed when she was on the CBS Sunday Morning Show.
ReplyDeleteThey really just don't make them like her anymore. She was BRILLIANT and BRASH and I love her for it. She will be missed greatly. RIP Elaine.
ReplyDeleteI recently watched her Britcom "Two's Company" courtesy of Netflix. She was one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...sorry to see this. She was a hoot...I first became aware of her in the show Two's Company where she played an American with an English butler. She was always fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteShe was one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteRIP dear Elaine. She was a class act.

ReplyDeleteFabulous Lady. Love her
ReplyDeleteBlessings

A fond adieu to a classy dame who
ReplyDeleteknew how to make it all count.
A great loss, indeed. Time to hunt for my LP of "Company" to hear her sing "Ladies Who Lunch" in memorial to this class act.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, fabulous woman! She was a free spirit who stayed true to her "self". She'll be missed....
