Turkey Lurkey Time

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Some information about the third Turkey Lurkey Time dancer... Margo Sappington.

Also of note is that Margo is not in the now-iconic "Turkey Lurkey Time" performance at the 1969 Tony Awards. She had already left the show by then so that is her replacement.

Oh. I stand corrected.

Margo left the show very early on to choreograph and perform in the OBC of "Oh, Calcutta!"

The third girl on the Tony Awards clip is Julane Stites (along with Donna and Baayork).

"Jaws is the Citizen Kane of movies."
