I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2.

Very sad.

Were her sons cute too?

She was a hoot! Thanks for all the fun and being the inspiration for I'M STILL HERE.

I'm so sad that she's not still here.

For me, as a 14-year-old attending Follies over and over again, she was the only member of the original cast I had actually seen be a star--even if it was a star on the Munsters and not in the old-time showbiz world the musical was referencing.

So when she sang the lyric, "Then someone's mother--then you're camp!" I was able to laugh without having to do research.

And thanks to her, we all have a visual for Sondheim's devious lyric "sloe-eyed vamp" ("sloe" NOT "slow").

Yes, I saw her in FOLLIES, and she was wonderful! A real beauty in her prime, too! R.I.P.

What better time for a bawdy story (NB: this is a story that has been told and retold with many combinations of names. I heard it with these two):

Bernie Schwartz had recently arrived in Hollywood in the late 40s. He was a muffin in his early 20s and was quite in demand among the ladies. Who knew that eventually he would turn into Tony Curtis?

Bernie didn't have two nickels to rub together and was staying with a friend in a small place in LA. In the middle of the night, the friend got up hearing something odd in the living room. He found Bernie sitting on the sofa giggling and rocking back and forth.

"Bernie, what's up? Everything okay?"

Came the reply, "Me, Bernie Schwartz...from the Bronx. I just f**ked Yvonne De Carlo...!"

Thanks, Miss De Carlo. Have a wonderful eternal tour.

I am glad to have seen her several times in the original FOLLIES and once on tour when she played Dolly.

She was a great lady on stage.

I saw her many times in Melbourne in NO, NO, NANETTE in the early 70's. I heard a story about her that during a particularly dull mid week matinee in Sydney once she came out for the last number, a party scene (Take A Little One Step) and said " What this party needs is a kick up the arse!" God love her, RIP Yonne.

Dollypop, wasn't she a bus and truck tour Dolly at some point?

Yes, it definitely was a bus and truck tour--very scaled down.

Didn't she put the moves on a young Ted Chapin during the FOLLIES rehearsals?

Like I said, she was a hoot!

Oh my, so beautiful. Yet another of the Follies team is gone, what an amazing show.

Oh my sister mentioned this to me in the car today.
Except she thought Yvonne played Marilyn. So wrong.
RIP.
