    Yay! One night I saw "Razzle Dazzle" on PBS and I even attempted to commandeer

    an SNL discussion to MG's fabulousness. And that black and silver Bob Mackie

    dress - meow! Interesting, too, a woman - a grown up one, not a girl - could be funny

    and sexy and carry a big TV show.

    Oh I loved her! She was a hell of a dancer, and had these great costumes, and her legs were to die for, even as she aged. And I thought she was pretty in that Hollywood musical kind of way.

    So this is what passed for "famous but mediocre" in the 70s? Our standards have apparently dropped considerably since then.


    Compare this lady to the parade of heiresses, reality show contestants, etc. that pass for mediocre talents today and you'll understand why we're so impressed with Mitzi here.

    "Average talents"? Really? I've never heard of her, but after watching the clip, I don't know about that - she's a pretty good hoofer, if you ask me.

    Mitzi is awesome...PBS had a great documentary followed by a special on her the other night and I was totally impressed. She was a comedian, dancer, singer -- and did it all really well.

    hello, White Christmas! She was fabulous and had amazing legs. I think she was in On The Town too, with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.
