Lions, Towers & Shields

126: The Women, with a Cat

Listen Later

Here is one of the greatest ensembles of the classic era - or any era, for that matter. Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Lucile Ball, Ann Miller, Eve Arden (and cat), Gail Patrick, Andrea Leads. Constance Collier, all sharing a theatrical boarding house in New York, and struggling to become big stars. Kate says something about calla lilies, and also snipes with Ginger. It’s so much fun!

Stage Door

Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, David J. Loehr, Nathan Alderman and Randy Dotinga
