They've been through it all and have many great stories to tell. Such was the case recently in a conversation with dancer/ singer/ actress/comedienne Mitzi Gaynor. This great lady starred in such Hollywood successes as THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS with Ethel Merman, THE JOKER IS WILD with Frank Sinatra, the re-make of ANYTHING GOES with Bing Cosby and Donald O'Connor, LES GIRLS with Gene Kelly and SOUTH PACIFIC with Rossano Brazzi. She also wowed television audiences in the 60's and 70's with a series of specials that captivated America and had schoolboys rushing home from sporting events to watch them. Without a doubt, Mitzi Gaynor was a show business phenomenon and she remains one today as she prepares for the public television airing of her new documentary called "Mitzi Gaynor: Razzle Dazzle! The Special Years." http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=34060 http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=34060 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 13:35:47 PST Rock-It Science Records presents Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Volume 10.
