It came across my YouTube feed. It is wonderful and poignant. I had never seen it before. It gave me a glimpse into the life and career of a much loved artist. Lucky are those who had the good fortune to have seen her perform in person. https://youtu.be/ipZBAS15TpU
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?'

Thank you for pointing this out to me. Laurie Beechman is one of my musical theater idols. I fell in love with her as the narrator in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” - we lost her much too soon.
