Hildegarde--1981 TV Interview and Songs

[@robtomaro5171]

I played guitar and banjo for her on that Cavett show. What an elegant and remarkable performer. A true professional! What an honor to be with her then!!

I'm always writing it , but it's true , he had the best guests of any talk-show in television history , and now there's no one , what a shame ! I wish they'd put him back on television with a new version of his show !

[@MovieJon]

She was a true delight! Well-spoken, polite and impishly charming.

[@brotherseraphim7768]

So charming and elegant

[@piustwelfth]

Incredible that Hildegarde was 75 at this time. A very youthful appearance and voice.

[@RIZFERD]

We born on February 1st are youthful and childlike, ageless

She is having so much fun preforming what energy at her age beautiful woman !

[@bigbandsrock1]

She’s a beautiful, amazing lady & talent! So glad to have seen this!!

[@stellertonybeller1972]

Liberace tells a story that in 1945 he was to follow her act at the Plaza Hotel and she had all the gimmicks of the gloves the roses and such a class act that he needed a gimmick to be noticed .... so after seeing a movie about Chopin that featured the Candelabra that he went out and got one for his piano and that became his trademark

[@MrGranfield]

Hildegard lived for another 24 years and died aged 99 in 2005.

[@grecogrant2511]

[@RIZFERD]

even food was way better than gmo today

[@hildegardderbal5908]

A very lovely person who gets me to be a little proud of my name. I always thought it very oldfashoned. But Americans pronounce it so lovely.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

In Chicago, she used to play at the Empire Room. A beloved character and a very successful entertainer for decades.

[@BernardProfitendieu]

yes, she was closely associated with the beautiful Empire Room at the Palmer House, but she was also booked into the Drake and the Blackstone from time to time. She was a guaranteed draw for any high end hotel that could get her!

[@liamvnbw]

When she was singing, she looked 30 again. What a delightful lady

[@TransVangal]

She was so hilarious 😂

[@XX-gy7ue]

SPECTACULAR

[@albertdiner]

Marilyn Monroe imitated her style in the film BUS STOP, and even mentioned her name I wonder if they ever met .

[@TheAnimeist]

A fascinating person. Television (and crime) killed the night club performer. An interesting take.

[@19gregske55]

I doubt that anyone can help out with this observation - the necklace that Hildegarde is wearing looks like real diamonds. Anyone out in KZbinLand have something to offer?

[@joseh3564]

She reminds me of Debbie Reynolds in her lovely personality and style of speaking.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

please don't insult Hildegard with that comparison!
