The amazing Betty Hutton...so talented, great actress. Beautiful singer and what a voice! One in a million entertainer. I always loved her when I was young. So glad to see her entertain and give her delightful performance again. She never lost the energy and talent. Love you Betty!💔 🎶💕🎶 Bette went into a convent and was the cook and did dishes for them for years. Getting counseling and guidance from a priest. She never wanted to entertain or be in public eye again. I'm glad she got the help and returned to the stage. She was a natural entertainer.
She never lived in a convent. In the esrly 1970s a Catholic priest rescued her when she was detoxing from pill addiction. She served as a cook and housekeeper at the parish rectory for a short time, and then lived independently elsewhere.
She was just as terrific in 1983 as she was in the 40’s. What an unbelievable performance, & talent! I will always watch her performances in films whenever I can.❤Love you Betty Hutton.
OMG 😳 stunning - she shone like a brilliant diamond refracting in bright sunlight yet her life was ... dark, traumatic ... I'm so glad Betty had one last golden glow toward the end of her life. A truly unique heart for all to see, she is always and forever a STAR ✨⭐
Betty Hutton is in the league of Judy Garland but each has her own charms. I love them both and I miss their talents. Betty Hutton has an electric energy and vibrant personality that no other TV or movie personality has. She is a legend if I may say. She was just overlooked way too much. Her talents are boundless.
@@citizen1163 Ethel Merman maybe envious of Betty's vibrant energy. Anyway, I am not even a fan of Ethel Merman. I don't watch her. Thanks for the comment.
@@citizen1163 it was one song. Because Ethyl sang it in a big musical and didn't want Bette to sing it better. Jealousy! Ethyl belted out a song ....Bette could belt them out also.
Betty was such a tremendous performer! She was so dynamic. She was pure emotion and joy overflowing. Her life was difficult. However, God blessed her with good friends who loved and supported her. They provided a wonderful home for her in Palm Springs and loved and cared for her to her dying day. She had a well deserved soft landing at the end of her life.
I’m crying with joy. Rest in peace Betty, Mom….and talented older sister. Betty was the most beautiful talented Clown that ever lived. I know one when I see one and she’s the tops! ❤from NuNu
"It's so super to feel love again in a room..." --- She went through so many bad times, but through it all she radiated love and incredible talent that will live forever. There is still love in the room, Betty dearest!😀
She was loaded with talent, and ENERGY! Singer, dancer, actress and great comedienne. She made so many wonderful movies....my favorite was "The Stork Club".
Her musical & comedic timing was sensational…. A very talented & gifted performer…. Watching this in 2024 & stilling missing Betty Hutton R.I.P beautiful lady!❤
Betty Hutton is incredibly great throughout this stunning PBS special I remember well, over time holds up well as a testament to a legendary talent who really knew how to thrill an audience in her later years, Bravo Betty Hutton!
I didn't realize that she did this performance after she had met the priest. What a talent through all her struggles. I didn't see her children at her memorial but hope they were there.
God bless dear Betty Hutton. Oh how I loved her! I saw most of her films. Folks, I know for sure: she is in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ! May God bless her family today.
That would be great. A movie celebrating her life. I saw her in a circus film with James Stewart. She was brilliant. Stole the whole film. Also loved Gloria Grahame. The stars shone brighter in thos days. ❤
Thanking all who ve made it possible for me to find this lady whom I’d never heard before or new about , and I’ve been looking at old movies for years other than the times I’ve had family small myself but how come she saw almost hidden all my 68 yrs , I honestly couldn’t find her to be able to love her and appreciate all her talents and don’t think I’ll ever be able to get all of her work s or history as to many people must have kept her away from others whom were “maybe more glamorous and more money valuable,because perhaps they could not believe she’d last the energy side long enough for them to gamble on and other stars we,er into glamour or status like that so they could keep them going for longer as for her drink @ pills we don’t know us viewers what As said not enough knowledge about her to us BUT THAKS SO VERY MUCH FOR THE INTRODUCTION AND HAPPINESS SHES GIVEN OUT TO ME X p.s. don’t always believe in Chinese whispers ! ….
Betty Hutton and Anne Miller were both hugely popular in Scotland in their hay day - i think because the working classes could relate to them - they were fun and girls could aspire to be like them and guys could imagine getting on with them
It’s seems she only truly came alive and lived in front of an audience and needed that relationship and live with them. When the lights went off that’s when the troubles came up
No kidding ! Both of them so beautiful and so very talented. And to come from such a messed up background, it gives me a lot of respect for both women.
Wonderful, nobody can sing a Betty Hutton song, but Betty. Unbelievable how she sounds here as good as she did in the 1940's. During WW2, she was perfect to cheer up our troops and our home front. Hard to be sad or scared watching her on the silver screen, or hearing her on the radio and in records.
Bags of energy what a lovely person she was too she seemed so very warm you just want to hug her to death !i wish there was more of this show ,or more like this on you tube fantastic ,I believe she had the saddest life you could imagine , so sad for her .! 🌹
usually when a 'star' is washed up their looks are gone, their voice is gone ... Miss Hutton never lost any of these attributes yet her life sunk so low. She obviously never lost her beauty or talent yet was 'washed up'. What a waste that she had wasted years.

That gal could SING!! ...and I loved her antics when she expressed the "energetic" songs.
Enjoying this in 2023!! Wow, what a talent Betty Hutton was!!
Me too, october 2023.
I was lucky enough to witness Bettys amazing talent in 1980 when she performed in ANNIE on Broadway!
WHAT A SHOWWOMAN!!!SHE IS FABULOUS!!!
The incomparable Betty Hutton! What a huge stage presence and a great performer. Love her and nay her soul be singing for the angels!❤
Betty Hutton is one of the greats, she’s so expressive and puts her all into every song.
Holy Cow! THAT is the definition of giving to, and grabbing an audience. Remarkable Ms. Hutton.
The amazing Betty Hutton...so talented, great actress. Beautiful singer and what a voice! One in a million entertainer. I always loved her when I was young. So glad to see her entertain and give her delightful performance again.
She never lost the energy and talent. Love you Betty!💔

Well said. I read that Ethel Merman demanded Betty's songs be cut from a musical. Maybe Betty had bad management.
Shame.

@@susanamoroso8581 Agree!
Betty was a vibrant powerhouse & adorable.
Ethel was a powerhouse.
Saw Ethel Merman, in Annie Get Your Gun. In NewYork. A new theater in the early 60’s New York?. Foget

BETTY HUTTON IS A STAR and they don't make them like that anymore.
As we age, we gain appreciation for those before us. Hats off. You are a very excellent voice and entertainer.

Yes never heard any of Betty music Live Fantastic voice🌹
She was loaded with talent, and ENERGY! Singer, dancer, actress and great comedienne. She made so many wonderful movies....my favorite was "The Stork Club".
The Miracle of Morgan's Creek was mine.
@@sodpoo Miracle of Morgan's Creek is mine as well. Preston Sturges is a master. I do love the Stork Club and The Perils of Pauline.
Always loved Betty Hutton such energy !
I would've paid anything to have seen this!!! She'll be a legend forever!
Even then she still had IT!!!
My mother absolutely loved Betty Hutton. I love her too.
Wow, would have loved to have been in the audience, always loved Betty. Hope they make a movie of her life.
Her musical & comedic timing was sensational…. A very talented & gifted performer…. Watching this in 2024 & stilling missing Betty Hutton R.I.P beautiful lady!❤
So unique to see the amount of natural energy she brings to her performances!
One of the best entertainers that ever lived.....I loved her....We all did.....She had a smile that we all loved to see.......
That was a great interview. Betty was so gracious and honest. A truly great talent.
Holy smokes can she belt them! What talent!
The finish to that opening number is extraordinary!!!
This great entertainer never gets the credit she so richly deserves
Thought I'd re-watch and appreciate this again - fabulous.
She's Absolutely Fabulous!
She is still great here!!

Betty is a supreme performer and means so much. Fills me with joy..
I love to watch her!!❤
What a talent, and made me laugh and cry with her act and songs!
Betty Hutton was always my favorite....she had a way of smiling when she was young and it was wonderful to watch her perform.........
One of the greatest things Bethesda has ever done is introducing newer generations to eras of music that should never be forgotten 💟
im sitting in tears after this performance
what a treat.a very underrated performer
Betty was never underrated, she was a huge star, who left show business, to clean up her act. She is well remembered and greatly appreciated.
My favorite entertainers of the 1940s betty i love love you so much i connects with you.
Oh so glad Betty performed again
I didn't realize that she did this performance after she had met the priest. What a talent through all her struggles. I didn't see her children at her memorial but hope they were there.
A truly great star.
John if you spent a tour of duty in fischbach, hope you had a good life, from Tom Lavieri
Just wow - goosebumps 👏
NOW THIS IS A LOT OF FUN TO WATCH! LOVE THIS!
God bless dear Betty Hutton. Oh how I loved her! I saw most of her films. Folks, I know for sure: she is in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ! May God bless her family today.
God saved her. She is an exceptional human being . We were blessed . Fuck the men that used her 😱💞
I so wish I could have seen her!
An untopppably great performance. It's her birthday, but we get the presents (from Betty).
Beautiful Betty.
Wow! What a voice!
That would be great. A movie celebrating her life. I saw her in a circus film with James Stewart. She was brilliant. Stole the whole film. Also loved Gloria Grahame. The stars shone brighter in thos days. ❤
Holy shit this is amazing!
I treasure my 78 rpm record of doctor, lawyer, Indian chief that I’ve had for more than 75 years.

Super great talent
She and her sister were the high energy cuties of their generation of singers.
No kidding ! Both of them so beautiful and so very talented. And to come from such a messed up background, it gives me a lot of respect for both women.
This is wonderful and so touching. Thank you so much for posting.
What an entertainer!!
My Beloved Godmother.
WONDERFUL!!! God healed her heart! but the damage was done to her family.
She was the type of Dynamite we'll never see again !!!
A very great performer. Incendiary blonde. My favorite
The lady Bob Hope called a Vitamin pill with legs.
Lovely drop of Betty xxx
So absolutely wonderful!! Thank You!
Wow, she brought the same energy and humor at that age. Betty Hutton is a treasure
2024 and all I can say is WOW. She still had it.

She was in her 60s!!!
she was found living in rhodes island just before this I believe in a convent or half way house. Very sad story if I remember right.
The wonderful thing is she made it through in the end!
😍😍😍😍😍 and the lullaby near the end😂😂😂😂😂😂💕💕💕
Love Betty Hutton!
Outstanding

What a super star!!
