My uncle designed the make-up change for Ms. Harris. He was a genius. He passed away a few weeks ago. RIP Uncle Joe. (Joe Cranzano - make-up artist.) xoxoxo

WOW! Barbara Harris was one of those remarkable theatre performers that the movies & television just didn't seem to know what to do with. According to word of mouth, she had some problems. She also had more talent than half the actresses in Actors Equity put together.

I never met Barbara Harris but I certainly was grateful to her. I worked in San Francisco when she was there making "Family Plot" and the sandwich maker at my favorite lunch spot was convinced I was she. (There was a strong resemblance.) So my pineapple-cream cheese sandwiches were free until he finally believed me-and/or they finished shooting.

I saw it twice, too. The second time Alda was still there, but I think Alvarez replaced Harris and I snuck in after the first intermission so I missed the first Act.

Mary Martin was pretty talented herself. Amazingly, when she was in her late 40s, a twice married, two kids, bisexual Texan -- she was cast and managed to play an Austrian virginal novice nun in her 20s ("The Sound of Music") and won a Tony over Ethel Merman ("Gypsy"). You cannot make this stuff up.

People associate Maria von Trapp so much with Julie Andrews they forget that Mary originated the role on Broadway.....like she did Nellie Forbush 10 years earlier!

Actually, "The Sound of Music," as a stage show, was Mary Martin's idea in the first place. But at first it was going to be a play with music, with Mary as Maria singing just a couple of songs. She asked her friends Rodgers & Hammerstein to write a few songs for her, they agreed, and then somebody had the bright idea that since they already had Mary and Rodgers & Hammerstein, why not just turn the whole thing into a full-scale musical? The rest is history.

I saw that with the original cast. I liked it much better than the movie. Not as sappy romantic and more biting about the Nazis.

He died a few weeks ago. We located this clip a few weeks ago (at 93) and we showed it to him when he was in the hospital. He enjoyed it more than words can say. God bless You Tube.

I have always been a fan but I knew her from her funny movie roles and then Hitchcock's FAMILY PLOT (which is still a funny part). Didn't even know she could sing until I heard the Cast Album of On A Clear Day (It was released the year before I was born). Dropped me in my tracks. I have never seen any of The Apple Tree either. It didn't have a very long run. I think it's album is available...somewhere. But boy..flaws aside..she rocks....She could play eccentric and/or motherly women like no other and we will love her always for it. Tony deserved.

just watch her hold an entire movie audience captive at the end of Robert Altman's masterpiece Nashville.
I worked for someone who thought this was the best show he had ever seen, largely due to Barbara Harris. I wasn't impressed by the recording but maybe you had to see it. She was great in Nashville and the recording of On A Clear Day is really good.

So talented. Hate me for it, but I firmly believe this was Alan Alda’s finest work. I was slated as an extra in his “Sweet Liberty” and saw him and Lillian Gish on Main Street, Sag Harbor NY but had just begun a different career and didn’t have the funds to rent a tuxedo for the film “screening” scene, and did not even think of asking someone for a loan

I appreciate people reading my blog! If you don't mind helping to promote it, it's at theatregeekery.blogspot.com and it covers all different aspects of theatre. Right now, I'm writing about theatre history - different countries, different movements, etc. It'll eventually move on to something else, but there's LOTS of theatre history to cover.
