Brock Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Paula looks fantastic! But will the book ever see the light of day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 After looking around Paula's website, I am very curious about her "Funeral Lady" "Celebrity Funerals" side gig. What does it entail? Does she write the eulogies? Film them? Set the order of the service? It brings up so many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 And why, pray tell, do you say THAT? Because it has been "coming soon" for so long now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 She appears to be too busy posting videos of herself smoking pot to YouTube. Paula looks pretty good for 81!! I guess it's all that pot smoking. Are there REALLY youtube videos of this? Who can blame the gal....It's been downhill since 1961 when she closed TWO shows in one year. She went from Wildcat right into "Let It Ride"with George Gobel which lasted only a couple of months. PLUS how would YOU like to be cold sober and wake up next to Jack Carter? As far as I know her only other Broadway appearance was as the replacement ingenue in Sammy Davis's "Golden Boy" in '64 or '65. And by the way, I don't think the 'twist' was around during the "Wildcat" run, but I could be wrong. And yes, I would like to hear the OTHER side of the Lee Tannen incident. Lee spends so much time justifying his outburst I have a feeling there's more to it. (Lucy to driver: "Let's get out of here before he starts foaming at the mouth and bites somebody!"). In the play version, I was really surprised he used Paula's full name. He took some really cheap shots at her without any back-story....not even a reference to "Wildcat".

HarryCarter Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I believe Paula starred in the national tour of "Little Me" opposite Donald O'Connor too. Paula was the replacement leading lady in Steve Lawrence's "What Makes Sammy Run." Did she do "Golden Boy" too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeySanJoaquin Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I agree, she looks INCREDIBLE for 81. EIGHTY ONE? Are you serious??? Yeah, class act alright. Class with a "K"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah, class act alright. Class with a "K"! I dunno what you all have against her, any woman that stays in the apartment of two gay gays and has the nerve to move everything around has got real BALLS in my book. And she looks 51, not 81.

Neil Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Add to the list of actress who played "Wildcat": Dolores Gray Others: Gale Storm, Martha Raye, Mamie Van Doran, and Carmen Quinn whose "Joe" was none other than Ed MacMahon. ("HI-YOHHHHHH!'ll come home, She will say...."). Ed in a musical?? And for that matter....Ed as an actor at all? He wasn't exactly dreadful in "Phones the President", but he was sort of stiff and brought nothing to the part.

HarryCarter Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I just discovered that Wildcat won at least one other award besides Lucy's Aegis Theatre Club Award. Don Tompkins, who played Sookie, won the Outer Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical Performance. This means that he won the award over others performing on Broadway that season like Lucy, Julie Andrews, Richard Burton, and Tammy Grimes.
