June Havoc, Dinah Shore--1979 TV Interview, Gypsy

June was so intelligent and no one was more charming than Dinah.

She was such a good actress. She looks beautiful here. Gypsy was equally talented in a different way. I think their mother pitted them each other. Which is really sad if they just gave in and got along. Their mother was a nightmare, I am glad they both broke away from her. They grew up in an extremely hard time especially Vaudville(one of my favorite genres of entertainment as well as old time radio) hard truth was if you didn't perform you didn't eat.

June Havoc was a amazing Actress and performer.. she is missed so much. She broke the curse. Of her sister and mother. She was 97 years old when she passed away in 2010..

A beautiful woman that the world lost she and gypsy were beautiful souls that got to make their own lives 🌹❤

June was 67 years old here and looked gorgeous -- without plastic surgery or dyed hair.

June and Gypsy’s Mother created ( in my opinion) the strain between the two of them.They were both talented and interesting women.

I saw Annie on Broadway right before it closed in 1983. June Havoc played Miss Hannigan and I had no idea who she was until much later.

Smiled the whole way through this delightful interview. Thank you for sharing. 💕⭐️

It's amazing to think that both of these women were in their 60s here! Dinah Shore was born in 1916 and June Havoc was born in 1912. It shows what living a full life filled with passion can do for us.

I love the way they both talk. So sweet and buttery.

I, sadly, didn't realize how wonderful of an actress June Havoc actually was until I saw her in an absolute classic, The Outer Limits, "The Cry of Silence!" She acted with Eddie Albert, and they both were absolutely fabulous because they were so believable! I'm sorry she's gone, but I watch that classic just to watch her talented performance! Love Dinah Shore as well!❤

June looked great here!

I can't get over how much June Havoc resembles Alice Faye. I had to look again because she could be Alice Faye's twin sister. Incredible.

The pianist at the famous dance school I went to in 1953, who was born in 1892 and had played piano in famous NY restaurants since she was 15, used to say she would pay the price of a Broadway show just to watch June Havoc walk across stage. On one radio show, all June had to say about "Gypsy" was: "I was a solo act. There was never anyone on stage with me."

Ms. Havoc is a true stage preformer. Her whole energy is directed towards the audience. Wide sweeping gestures hahaha so stagey.

June mentions that Gypsy "had a good bunk, three squares" and was "very loved where she was," implying that she had it better than June early on, since June was away performing as a toddler and being the breadwinner. But did June consider that Gypsy may have felt abandoned by their mother, when she first took June out on the road? Louise's early life was apparently more stable, but it does a number on a child when a parent seems to favor the other sibling and essentially abandons said child. Louise was only less than two years older.

June is beautiful!

The woman who played piano at the Jack Stanley School school in New York, where many of the great dancers passed through at one time or another, (Jack choreographed the routine Gene Kelly did for his audition for Pal Joey) said she would pay the price of a Broadway show just to watch June Havoc walk across stage, her presence and body movement was that frantastic.

Thank you for posting this!

I love you June and thank you so much for being such an instrumental part of my life at Youthbridge... I'll always love you!!!
