GREAT TALENT

10

By mysoaps, Sep 18, 2012

WHAT A GREAT TALENT THIS LADY WAS! FROM HER YEARS ON "YOUR HIT PARADE" TO HER OWN SHOW ON SATURDAY NIGHT, TO HER LEGENDARY VIOLIN DUETS WITH JACK BENNY TO PLAYING SID CEASAR'S FOURTH WIFE, GISELE DELIGHTED TELEVISION AUDIENCES THROUGHOUT THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES. ANYONE WHO IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH HER WORK OR THOSE WANTING TO TAKE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE CAN FIND HER ON YOU TUBE. THEY SHOULD TAKE TIME TO APPRECIATE HER VERSATILITY BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE PURITY OF HER VOICE. IN LATER YEARS SHE STARRED IN MOST OF THE BEST KNOWN ROLES FOR LEADING LADIES IN MUSICAL COMEDIES. SHE COULD HAVE ORIGINATED ANY OF THEM WITH GREAT SUCCESS IN THEIR ORIGINAL PRESENTATIONS ON BROADWAY. ALTHOUGH SHE MAY NOT BE THE BEST KNOWN SINGER OF HER GENERATION, ARGUABLY SHE WAS THE BEST.moreless
