Class acts: Jack Benny, Carol Channing, and Pearl Bailey. We need more people like them in the Arts and in the world.

PEARL BAILEY WAS MAGNIFICENT

True stars that worked their way from Vaudeville through radio, stage, and large and small screen. These greats will long be remembered after today's flash-in-the-pan's are long forgotten.

I remember seeing Miss Pearl as "Dolly" at the Shriner's Auditorium (same one that is shown as the Oscar Awards venue in 1955's "Star Is Born"). The show was billed as the "All-Black Cast" - not unusual in those days of the late 60s. Pearl gave her own spin on "Dolly" - which truly is a role that allows actresses to put their own spin on the character. In the opening number, "I Put My Hand In Here", there's a moment when the costume horse makes an appearance (standard in all productions of "Dolly"). "Dolly" is handing out cards promoting her various skills which include matchmaking. When Pearl came up against the costume horse, she blurted out "Oh no - sorry! Not this child, honey!" and then she swerved away. The audience LOVED IT! Missing Pearl and Carol!

Did you happen to see it when Morgan Freeman was in the cast? I heard he was in the initial production with Pearl Bailey but had to move on for another contract.

I've always thought God looks like Pearl Bailey. At least, I hope so.

In my early career as a journalist, I was invited to a luncheon along with other Los Angeles journalists with Ms. Bailey who was opening at the Shubert in Hello Dolly. I stayed behind as one journalist after another left. She came over and asked me to sit with her. We talked for hours. I told her how my grandparents and parents traveled to Las Vegas to see her perform. She said, "Yes, I am getting all the grandkids now." I loved being with Ms. Bailey and didn't want the evening to end. The next day she sent me every book she wrote. All were signed with a little note. I was touched and became her biggest fan, seeing her at as many performances as I could over the years. I will never forget her.

Oh, what a treat to see the two Carols singing together… about food! I think Carol Channing was a vegetarian which explains her lifelong slimness, boundless energy and longevity till 97 years of age! May she sing & dance in peace forevermore. On 1/15/19, heaven welcomed her with “Hello, Carol, well hello, Carol. It’s so nice to have you back where you belong…”. And another treat to see Ms. Channing singing with Ms. Pearl Bailey - the 2 Broadway Dolly’s! Also, congrats to Carol Burnett for receiving 1st Carol Burnett Award for lifetime achievement at 2019 Golden Globes.

I wonder if Morgan Freeman was one of the dancers that you see here in "Put On Your Sunday Clothes." He was in the chorus of the African-American "Hello, Dolly" with Pearl Bailey.

The Otto Preminger film, to which Channing alludes in her acceptance speech, is the 1968 feature, "Skidoo", also starring Jackie Gleason. If you wish to spend an hour and a half watching one of the oddest cinematic productions of all time, by all means watch, "Skidoo".

I'm really hoping to see "Skidoo: The Musical" on Broadway one day, starring Nathan Lane, Kristen Chenoweth and Joel Grey as "God." ;-)

Jack Benny managed to be on stage just long enough to be urbanely witty and had the good grace to shut up, get off and let the stars shine, knowing how good they were .

@EatPlums Really?
