Oscar-Nominee Sally Kellerman to Play Dave Koz Lounge

Sally Kellerman, the Oscar-nominated "Hot Lips" of the original "M*A*S*H," will bring her new show, "A Little Jazz, a Little Blues, a Little Rock and Roll" to the new Dave Koz Lounge at Spaghettini Beverly Hills on Friday, May 1 at 8:30 PM. The acclaimed show is a celebration of her 40-year cabaret career, from early years at Reno Sweeney in Greenwich Village up to recent performances in New York, Hollywood and San Francisco.

Stephen Sorokoff wrote of her recent 54 Below appearance, "She's a force of nature, a musical, physical aphrodisiac..an intoxicating evening that totally captivates and moves you as she travels through her wonderful song list."

Kellerman has starred in more than 50 films and countless TV shows and even hosted "Saturday Night Live". She currently has a recurring role on Marc Maron's IFC comedy series "Maron" and is nominated for a Daytime Emmy for her special guest appearances earlier this season on "The Young and the Restless". Her distinctive, husky voice has been heard on hundreds of commercials (most famously Hidden Valley Ranch) and she recorded a duet with Ella Fitzgerald's son, Ray Brown Jr., for his album "Friends and Family". Her own classic album, "Roll With the Feelin'", was recently reissued by Geffen Records and was followed by the acclaimed CD, "Sally." Her saucy memoir "Read My Lips," is currently in bookstores.

Kellerman will forever be identified with her Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated performance as Mary Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in Robert Altman's original film version of "M*A*S*H". Her association with ALTMAN continued with prominent roles in "Brewster McCloud," "Welcome to L.A.," "The Player" and "Pret-a-Porter", and her more than 50 other films include "Last of the Red Hot Lovers," "Back to School," "Serial" "Slither," "The Big Bus," "The April Fools," "The Boston Strangler," "Foxes," "A Little Romance," "Loving Couples," "Boris and Natasha," "Boynton Beach Club," "Someone to Love," "That's Life!" and the Burt Bacharach-Hal David cult musical "Lost Horizon". Her countless TV appearances include "Verna: USO Girl" with Sissy Spacek, Dorothy Parker's "Big Blonde," the mini-series "Centennial," and span such Golden Age classics as the pilot episode of "Star Trek," "Alfred Hitchcock Hour," "The Outer Limits," "It Takes a Thief" "Hawaii Five-O," and "I Spy" up through such recent hits as "Workaholics," "Law and Order: L.A." and "90210".

Ed Martel will be Kellerman's music director. Spaghettini is located at 184 N. Canon Drive in Beverly Hills. The phone is 310-424-4600. www.spaghettinibh.com
