Mildred?
Don't know the last name.
But I do know Madeline Kahn originated the role.
One of the greats who was taken much too soon.

... Why Don't I Just Tell You The Answer?
It's Sixteen. Sixteen Hours to get from Chicago to New York on the 20th Century Limited.
Priest, for a prize I'd give you a free ride on the train--if it hadn't stopped running years ago!
I'm gonna post the lyrics, and then go to bed, and make a note to NEVER try Trivial Pursuit THIS LATE/EARLY ever again!
***Edit--just saw Priest's last post. Yeah, Priest, it took sixteen WEEKS for a train to travel from Chicago to New York. Sheesh!***

"On The Twentieth Century":
We point with the deepest pride
To the grandest ride
On the New York Central Railroad
Or else N.Y. to Chi
New York in sixteen hours
Anything can happen in those sixteen hours
As the flight all across the night
America the beautiful was high
America the beautiful was high
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the luxury liner between N.Y. and Chi
Life and love and luck
May be changed
Hope renewed
And fate rearranged
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the luxury liner between N.Y. and Chi
Life and love and luck
May be changed
Hope renewed
And fate rearranged
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the Twentieth Century
On the luxury liner between N.Y. and Chi!
