Ann Miller, Joan Rivers, Elizabeth Ashley--1984 TV

[@peterdamato2359]

Ann Miller was the epitome of Hollywood glamour. She did it all, sang, acted and boy could she dance. Love her.

[@MovieJon]

Who on earth emitted more plain old fashioned charm and positivity than Ann Miller? She was a total delight here. Liz is hiiiiggghhhh.

[@7777lizabeth]

Been watching Ann Miller interviews and she is so much fun to listen to!

[@williamf4544]

Have you seen the one with her and Mikey Rooney at the Royal Command performance

[@CarlosGonzalez-yv1tg]

Her attitude exhudes Golden Age. At 61, she had the same energy as when she filmed 1949's "On the town". Amazing

[@WitoldBanasik]

Ann Miller- quick, witty and stylish... my type. Thanks for posting the gem.

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

Oh, good Lord, this is first day 2021, yet can't help wanting to go back to the era of such fun, engaging interviews.

[@hairyscotman]

Ann is a treasure....a beautiful TEXAN....so much beauty and so much talent...and perfectly lovely....

[@LakewoodDallas]

Her accent really came out at first. I love it.

Ann Miller, one of the best and most talented Hollywood musical performers. I was fortunate to meet her while sitting in a dark movie house one day (early 80s) on the La Cienega Boulevard strip theatres. Matinee, film showing of a flop movie that had just come out starring Shirley Maclaine. A few seats behind me I heard a few broads trashing the movie saying what on earth possessed Shirley to do this movie. The voice that stood out to me belonged to none other than Ann Miller. I could not hold myself back and I just had to get up and go and introduce myself. She, Ann Miller was so kind and accommodating and to my surprise the other two lady friends sitting next to Ann Miller we're, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen. All of them reached over to shake my hand. What a moment. :)

ann was pure old hollywood glamour ,whenever she danced in a film it was truly amazing ,i loved her in easter parade ,she just jumped off the screen and really held her own to judy garland which is not an easy task

[@vinceatkinson7237]

Ann Miller!! She was great! Class, glamour, funny, and smart! She was a real star.

Luckily, I had the pleasure of meeting both Joan and Ann! I met Joan and her husband, Edgar, at Spago on the Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, during my college graduation dinner with friends. Said hello, chatted small talk, and informed her had tickets to HER show on Fox. Based on our "meeting", went to show and had 2nd row-aisle seats, right near where she gave her monologue! Incredible evening! 😀 I met Ann, while working at the Robinsons-May store in Beverly Hills, in the women's shoe dept. We chatted briefly, and she was just as she was in this video clip. All smiles, big black hair, red lipstick and nails... and major jewelry! About a week later, while walking through the lower level of store, I heard her call out my name from the Cafe?! Was amazed that she remembered MY name! We chatted again, about the store, and how she loved to shop. 😀 I miss Joan and Ann... was upset when each of them passed, as I had the brief encounters with both! Great memories! 🤗

[@Thomas-kl5mo]

She was one of Gretest Stars of The Golden Age, she was such A Lovley Day.

[@Samarastube]

wow I actually got chills watching Ann Miller dance for those few seconds. What a legend!

[@TombCat]

Ann Miller is so evocative of OLD Hollywood and glamor but so direct and vibrant. Talking about working hard and making money at 61 years old and looking like a million bucks in that sequin pantsuit.....she's being herself and that self is pretty fabulous! To lose a 30 carat diamond ring - mon dieu!! Mr. Mayer never had her on the casting couch - he wanted to marry her. Joan Rivers was the warmest, wittiest and wisest television hostess. She got caught up in her nerves and her words and jokes sometimes - but the true appreciation and fun she had with her guests is always so graceful to watch. Joan was a great audience. She wanted her guests to succeed. No problem with Ann Miller in the least "prestigious" spot. Sondheim famously cried when he watched Ann Miller rehearse I'm Still Here. The PaperMill Playhouse. She certainly wasn't the best singer or greatest star to perform that song in Follies - but he said that SHE was the one who was most like what every word of that song and character was meant to be. He had no notes to give her.

[@KenDanieli]

The confidence of Ann Miller.

[@knowzmyname]

Annie was always an absolute darling at any of the industry events.

[@tomwestfld392]

She's wearing Halston! Would be 101 on her Birthday this year! Loved her she was so nice to her fans! Met her when I was 15 in 1976!

[@MNBluestater]

I am 64 and I’ll tell you my generation will never reach the heights of talent in the 20th century .

[@SaxonC]

Joan is quick! Love and miss her

[@Justin.Martyr]

*Joan was Murdered!*

[@Justin.Martyr]

[@Justin.Martyr]

*I wiLL Meet Ann MiLLer, in the Kingdom!!!!*

[@nathanfarias5779]

Amazing Halston !

[@gwdubs]

Ann Miller! Positive American attitude. They don't make them like that anymore!

[@YouzTube99]

08:03 An interviewer asked Fred Astaire what he did for exercise. Astaire, always careful to be polite, sputtered for a few seconds before replying in an exasperated tone, "I dance!!" Duh! Professional dancers are among the best athletes in the world.

[@maya8443]

Yes! That is true..

[@djs2356]

Who are the stars of today??

[@BeckyBRamsey]

I wish she would have expanded that little dance👏👏

[@williamf4544]

Probably an insurance thing because she was still working in Sugarbabes - Joans studio wouldnt have been able to afford to pay the amount required taking into account her age

[@davidhihm4353]

"Shake it up, Joan!"

[@norelcopc2431]

Ann Miller mentions that she was 61. I will turn 61 a week from now.

[@williamf4544]

Should you still be up at this time - time for bed i think Grandma

[@michaeljj43]

what the hell is elizabeth ashley doing next to ann miller

[@lenwelch2195]

Ann had the energy of a 25 year old.

[@Hobbybaas]

I love this. Annie looks great. How completely rude and classless of Elizabeth Ashley to be smoking all through Miss Miller's interview.

[@aeichler]

+Bobby Haas She also keeps trying to get her face into the camera.

[@norelcopc2431]

She is a chain smoker and probably didn't even know she was doing.

[@RA-dm1yn]

Bobby Haas honestly it was pretty common for people to smoke on television back then. IIRC, Ann Miller was also a smoker. Ann Miller was an amazing lady. I didn't discover her until a few years ago. Too bad, if I'd heard of her when I was a child I might have kept up with my tap dancing lessons.

[@KenDanieli]

WTF is going with the camera ?

[@KenDanieli]

Elizabeth Ashley is tweaking out next to her off camera. Jesus.

[@richardzimmerman7934]

Shake it up Joan! Lmao

[@mayaa5048]

Joan was so interested in the plastic surgery, she looked like a wax relic since this show. Amazing how shallow hollywood people are, I'm glad to hear Ann Miller never was like that beautiful lady.

[@superhetoric]

elizabeth ashley seems to be coked out of her gourd

[@michelleregis6181]

Ann Miller was a good hoofer but IMHO i didnt care for her, as a personality i always thought she was quite a phony, too overdone,
