It was good. Some new stories about her journey. I was afraid it would be a rehashing of Just Shoot Me and At Liberty, but I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend it.
@@lamontrussell1524 Thanks for your reply. I only noticed after visiting this clip again. I actually read the book over Christmas. I liked it, well researched, but it left me with more questions (about Elaine...her psychology, sexuality, motivation), then answers. She seems to be a conundrum of sorts. That's Elaine.
With her dead pan delivery, Elaine should have been the wife. Imagine her cynicism in singing "So go and brown an onion" and "You've already had my husband". She'd have the audience in tears of laughter.
Elaine Stritch sang this song with Barbara Cook at the Metropolitan Opera when Barbara had her 2006 concert there.Sadly Stritch solo Ladies who.lunch ajd their duet isnt in.the CD concert because of Stritch refusal .
ll bet your friends are all celebrities. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? You can make a pot roast. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First you brown an onion. Is your picture up at sardi`s? That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? You can clean an oven. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First you get the e-z off! Ah, the grass is always greener On somebody else`s estate. Ah, the meat is always leaner On somebody else`s dinner plate. But you can sew a button on. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? Bet you go to discos. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First you take a valium! I can see you planning picnics. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? Eating at the white house! That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First they pass the jelly beans. Ah, the grass is always greener On somebody else`s front lawn. Ah, somebody else`s wiener Always has a lot more relish on. You saved the whales in new foundland. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? You can run a household. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First you have a breakdown. You`re always in the magazines. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? You can hold a husband. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? There`s more to life than husbands. I could use a husband You can have my husband. I`ve already had your husband! Ah, it makes you kind of teary. Ah, think about it, dearie. The grass is always greener In someone else`s yard. It`s hard! I`ll bet you always ride in limousines. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? You`ve got time for luncheons. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First you sell the tupperware. The public wants your autograph. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? You raised a teenaged daughter. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First you find her diaphragm. Ah, the grass is always greener Where some other tenant pays rent. Ah, the teeth are always cleaner In somebody else`s polident. Do you know who your neighbors are? That`s wonderul! What`s so wonderful? You know rona barrett. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? First you keep your mouth shut. I bet you squeeze the charmin. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? You can make headline. That`s wonderful! What`s so wonderful? I`d rather have a pot roast. So go brown an onion. And have some peace and quiet. You`ve already had my husband! Ah, everyone`s a victim Of this ducky little dictum: The grass is always greener In somebody else`s yard. It`s hard!
God I miss that woman - thank you so much for posting!
I just finished the new book about Stritch and was surprised I’d never seen this clip. Thanks for sharing.
Lamont Russell Same! What did you think? Of the book, and Elaine?

Which one? There are 2 out, and I’ve heard one is great and the other terrible.

With her dead pan delivery, Elaine should have been the wife. Imagine her cynicism in singing "So go and brown an onion" and "You've already had my husband". She'd have the audience in tears of laughter.
Agreed. I totally assumed she would be in the other role.
Sometimes in life, it's just......FUN
Thank you!!
Brilliant talent
Rip Elaine Strich
the roles should have been reversed. Glenn can't cut it. But always good to see Stritch doing anything...
