Yesterday, November 21, would have been Vivian Blaine's birthday. An American actress and singer with an acerbic sense of humour famous for her roles, among others, in State Fair, Doll Face and Three Little Girls in Blue. She is perhaps best known though for originating the role of the long-suffering, perpetually engaged chorus girl Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. Indeed it is this last role that I will always remember her for. Today then, as a tribute to Ms Blaine I wanted to share a couple of 'Adelaide's' finest moments:
Take Back Your Mink
Adelaide’s Lament
Sue Me
About Me
- Small Bob
- Nature meant very kindly by women when she made the tea plant; and with a little thought, what a series of pictures and groups the fancy may conjure up and assemble round the teapot and cup.
-William Makepeace Thakery
Just an average twenty-something… I love many things but high on my list are music, films, crafting, drinking tea & God -though not necessarily in that order. I try to be joyful, I live, I dream, I hope, I create, I am inspired.
Thanks for reading!
