She's hilarious in that "What's My Line" clip, too!


I wonder if somebody somewhere will pay her a tribute? She's not the BIGGEST star the world has ever known, but she's practically a living history of entertainment. A vaudeville star, Broadway star and film star.

And there are a couple of young actresses "playing her" on Broadway right now.

I really hope there's a tribute come November 8th. Start planning one now!

If you watch "Life After Tomorrow" I am 95% positive the Hanngian in the home movie, is her.
