Oh it probably is BS....but its out there now!!!!
So my Jonathan went to Fred Ebb's memorial yesterday....all kinds of celebs there. Betty Becall, Liza Minelli, (she sang and said she sounded REALLY scary!) Bacall told a funny story...
It seems that when Betty was doing "Applause" she called Fred and when Fred answered, shes says, "Freddie?"...."Yes"..."Do you know who this is?"...there was silence for a moment....then Fred says "Jimmy?" He apparently thought she was Jimmy Coco! So from then on Fred called her Jimmy.....she read the last letter she got from him and its started out...Dear Jimmy..
"It never bothered me that she called me a c*nt, it bothered me that I answered to it!" Carol Channing about Ethel Merman filming an episode of "The Love Boat"
