Ethel Merman & Mary Martin Interview Part 1 (by NealeUK)

Ethel Merman and Mary Martin, two of the most beloved women of the old-time Broadway musical!

Today’s folks may know Mary Martin from her signature role as Peter Pan in the 1960 televised musical adaptation. And, one of Ethel Merman’s best known roles is that of pistol wielding Annie Oakley, in 1946’s Annie Get Your Gun, which was later made into a musical film in 1950, starring Betty Hutton as Annie.

Mary Martin was such a loving individual. Look at how warm she is to everyone, never hesitating to give a compliment or to hold a hand. I think if I was in show-business back in her day, she and I would have been friends, probably.

And, will you get a load of silent-film star, Lillian Gish! When she describes how movies were made about 100 years ago—-WOW!
