In 2013, we celebrated the 88th birthday of the great star Elaine Stritch. Joining us along with Stritch herself were her good friends, music director Rob Bowman, and actor Hunter Ryan Herdlicka who appeared with Stritch in "A Little Night Music" on Broadway. In a freewheeling conversation, Stritch reminisced about a number of people and things of significance to her including Stephen Sondheim, Bela Lugosi, and the gift basket that Alec Baldwin sent her after she injured her hip.
Original tape date: February 1, 2013.
First aired: February 16, 2013. (#1916)

Gotta give big Kudos to Rob Bowman who was so much more than her Music Director. I don't think Elaine would have lived as long or as well if not for him, and I doubt she could have done "At Liberty" without him. They were like an old-marred couple in some ways, and he certainly helped her manage her Diabetes which was acute. Very generous guy who never seemed to seek out praise, and was a very positive force in her life.

Elaine Stritch's documentary was one big smile! Glad I watched it! She was incredible!

@lilyjameson5156 10 лет назад

Aw, it got me when the host started out talking about losing a landmark, but especially when Elaine herself said, "I'm going home." Miss you already, wonderful lady! Thank you for always giving so much of yourself.

Even though she promised to be on Theater Talk again, I don't believe she did. Sadly, she died the following year. Gone but NOT forgotten!

@fcfcabral 4 года назад

The play was "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs " by Emilyn Williams--she would have crushed Ethel Barrymore! What a great lady--and what an affirmation of life. Thanks for posting!

@bennettsilverstein 10 лет назад

I was privileged to have met Elaine Stritch in 2007. She was very nice and very funny. I saw her in person in 2000 at a benefit performance in support of Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign. She sang "Broadway Baby". Of course, I had my heart set on hearing her sing "The Ladies who Lunch". We will all miss her.

@paulbegg6128 2 года назад

@alicekane3913 4 года назад

I have the record, too! Saw 'Goldilocks' when I was a kid - my 1st Bdway show. I memorized all the songs. :-D Elaine Stritch was just the BEST! Glad I got to see her in 'At Liberty!' (She invited audiences to greet her backstage after performances. When I told her I saw her in 'Goldilocks,' her head swiveled & her expression was priceless! Her humor was a national treasure. Sure miss her.....

TV studios used to be incredibly hot (due to the hot lights). Now performers complain about TV studios being cold. David Letterman kept his studio at around 65 degrees.

The main distinction between the Old School English cultural elite, and the ones over the pond, is that the English ones are less gregarious, less egocentric, more humble, self-effacing and give more space to the others ... ... but she’s lovely, don’t want to drink tea with her, how-ever, and, never-the-less ...

@bubbleworship 10 лет назад

I often wonder when I watch this... If she knew she had a year to live. When you listen to her talk about leaving New York... Yes, it's a positive chapter that's about to happen... but it's an undeniable bittersweet fact that a year later we would loose her.

@bradmedicus 10 лет назад

I think she knew. I think that's why she returned home to Michigan. Her heart was in New York. But, her home was always Michigan ... she went home to her family. RIP Elaine

@noreexic 9 лет назад

She for sure knew. Her health had been failing for a number of years. If you watch her documentary Just Shoot me, you'll see she was relapsing as an alcoholic, her memory was failing and everything was going south

@trebors69nc 9 лет назад

CoCoMoroney I'm sorry, but she did not appear to be relapsing to me in the documentary. One drink a day, and still functional with no apparent adverse effects vocationally, or otherwise. I don't believe she met the DSM criteria for addiction or abuse. She drank for years before she started to have trouble with alcohol, and that came after the death of her husband, John. It was only then that alcohol appears to have become problematic for her. You're right though. She knew she was dying.

@noreexic 9 лет назад

trebors69nc She began having one drink a day, and then she started having regular diabetic attacks, going into hypoglycemic fits and being taken into hospital, so from my perspective it appeared that it was having a substantial impact on her health. You just can't drink regularly when you have diabetes, it's not sustainable, and Stritch knew that and then told the camera that she would stop having her one drink a day, yet at the end of the movie she had gone back into this one drink a day habbit. The DSM criteria for many addictions an illnesses is also very unreliable and outdated, from eating disorders to alcoholism.

@trebors69nc 9 лет назад

CoCoMoroney Fair enough, but without seeing her medical records (and more), neither of us can state with confidence what was going on with her diabetes vis a vis her alcohol consumption. I only saw her once in the hospital in the documentary, and I don't recall them stating that hypogylcemia brought on by alcohol was the cause. She may have been having regular episodes of hypoglycemia before she started drinking again. The only time I recall seeing her drink in the documentary was while also eating. Are you suggesting that alcohol consumption killed her? In any case, she said she's just a little old lady up on the hill in the corner room at the Carlyle who wanted one drink a day. The asked, "Does anybody mind?" My answer is no. I didn't mind. Thank you.

I'm finally getting round to watching 30 Rock (halfway through season 3) and that bitch just ruined it for me.. I only watched it for Elaine. Might stop watching it now, don't think i'll be able to cope with her getting killed off on the show.

@noreexic 9 лет назад

er... elaine is dead so i thought it was obvious that the character would be killed off

@connorjones100 9 лет назад

CoCoMoroney well she died after 30 rock ended. so your logic doesn't exactly work.

@connorjones100 9 лет назад

Prog X what the fuck are you talking about? i just said in the comments above that Elaine died after 30 Rock had finished. You gotta learn to read.
