Happy 89th birthday Mitzi Gaynor!! A genuine joy and inspiration even today: there really is no show business icon quite like Mitzi in all her enduring stage power, glowy exuberance, and bubbly beauty – and all this besides, she seems to be the nicest friend to sit around and reminisce with :’)
(Mitzi is seen here in March 1959, rehearsing with Bob Hope and my hero Jack Benny for “The Jack Benny Hour” – the episode is a real treat by the way, Jack has to change up his usual mild-paced openers and gets caught in a little comic riot of an intro, like brass band/circus/Chinese New Year/Vegas/Broadway mania: quietly, with one eternally elegant hand to one eternally almost-concerned face, one eternal genius) Xo
