Carol Channing RIP

Forums:

I didn't see a thread and thought it was appropriate to tip the cap to an icon. I read that in all her years on Broadway she only missed one performance, which was to get a Tony. That's pretty impressive. 

Her role in Skidoo is also worth mentioning.  Crazy movie with Jackie Gleason tripping in prison and Groucho as 'God'.

 

Wow amazing physicality, I had no idea.

Goodbye Carol

RIP

 

Channing said, "I want to be be buried between the Curran Theater and the Geary Theater."

 

Will it happen?

Figured she died 20+ years ago.

No she did.

were you classmates, Blue?

You will be missed bubbles!  A true San Franciscan.

She went to the same SF high school that my mom did, Lowell, but several years prior.. she was class of 1938!

Over 5,000 performances, wow!
