I saw her in 1995 in Showboat on B'way and every line she spoke had meaning and purpose and the audience knew they were watching a legend. When she sang " Why do I love you" to her grandbaby the audience was in years and the applause was resounding. Such a star is rare these days.
I remember her from The Ellen Burstyn Show. I was 12 at that time, so I hadn't had much exposure to her up to that point. She was the *only* reason I ever watched that series because she was so incredibly funny. She was mainly there for one-liners, jabs, and salty inappropriate remarks... but when it was her turn to speak, you had to get ready because you knew you were going to the floor in laughter. Every single person cast in that show were brilliant, but Elaine was the one I've always remembered most.
Noel gave my favorite critique of play. It had one of those overly precocious child actors in it and he comment was "The entire second act . . . and that child's throat should be cut."
Elaine Stritch inevitably aged, but she had a youthfulness about her that was there till the end. I adored her in the television series Two`s Company, with the wonderful Donald Sinden, in which both had superb comedic timing. Stritch demonstrated her formidable trademark sharpness, whilst Sinden utilised his unparalleled English sarcasm and wit... a rarity in todays television.
??? ...he's now on Am radio...a politicl show...and we know over the years, that Michael has a fairly obvious political side to him. Recll him being quotd in NYC papers and media when he was highly critical of a Shakespeare in Central PArk production which involved a Trump-like characte as Caesar in Julius Caesar....yellow flyaway hair...wide ugly tie and all.
The theater is lost without the likes of Sir Noel and Miss Stritch. I'd pay the heavy toll they put on seats at Broadway plays nowadays, but I ask you--who is worth seeing? We get perhaps one good, serious play a season--usually on a limited run. These sell out immediately. And poor provincial me--I have no desire to see charmless musicalizations of recent mediocre film comedies turned into plays. All theater --even the most absurd comedies--should challenge.

Saw the Carnegie Hall 'Sail Away'. Sat next to Adolph Green. What an elegant and entertaining evening.
She is missed.......What a talent. And she knew the Genius Noel Coward.....

Such a tough lady! A legend.

What's the deal with a two host show being dominated by only one of them?
They're just having a conversation, that's all.
The host should have offered to help, or at least should have stood up when she began taking off her sweater. 🙁
