Posted: 3/19/15 at 12:41amPatricia Morison, who originated the role of Lilli in Kiss Me, Kate celebrates her 100th birthday today. Though she hasn't appeared on Broadway since her stint as Anna in The King and I, she has devoted her later days to painting. Probably the oldest living Broadway legend, happy birthday to Miss Patricia Morison.

Crazy. Just came across a photo of her as Anna with Yul Brynner, then I see this thread seconds after.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday indeed! I adore that interview with her, so lively and candid. Certainly a living legend of the highest order.

Happy birthday, Miss Morrison!
Probably the oldest living Broadway legend, happy birthday to Miss Patricia Morison.
Norman Lloyd has her beat by a few months. He turned 100 in November, and while he hasn't been on Broadway since the 1950s, he's still working with some regularity. He has a role in the upcoming Amy Schumer/Judd Apatow movie TRAINWRECK.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

What fabulous sets and costumes (by Lemuel Ayers). Truly some of the most imaginative I've ever seen. He also did the original Oklahoma!, Bloomer Girl, Kismet, and Pajama Game.
