    Jeepers!! I was afraid the whole time that Gypsy would swallow some of those marbles!

    It's wonderful that I can see what Gypsy Rose Lee actually looks like. All I can recall is the movie in which Natalie Wood played her part. And that was wonderful.
  • She was smart and special. Charismatic and kind. After such a rough childhood, too. Good for her.

    Dorothy at about 12:05 says "San Francisco is such a gay city"! Oh, boy...if she only knew!

    I just love that in the 50s there was a burlesque performer famous enough to get applause like that on TV.
  • I was 13 when this first aired, and I watched it with my family. As usual, I asked what the MG was famous for. My parents told me she was a famous dancer. I then saw Gypsy Rose Lee on various talk shows, and it didn't take long for me to understand that she was more than a dancer.

    I was born in 56, and know my mom loved the stage. I bet I was an early viewer! What grace and charm humans used to exhibit. I long for this today....
  • It was so nice that Bennet mentioned Debbie Reynolds. She was so sweet especially her visit in 1954...

    Thank you for this! Gypsy was amazing. Imagine using marbles, so clever!

    I'm surprised and impressed that the audience evidently knew Ms. Rose Lee by sight. I also think it's interesting that it's the female audience members that had the most excited response.

    Gig Young had such a tragic and mysterious end. Loved the babysitters! I cant help but wonder if they remained entrepreneurs.
