Razzle Dazzle no more

It is with tears in our eyes that we bid a fond farewell to our beloved Patron Saint of Bugle Beads Miss Mitzi Gaynor, who has razzle-dazzled her way off to Fabulon today.

The star to end all stars, she shimmied, shook and high-kicked her way through myriad musicals, TV specials and award ceremonies in her long, long career - her screen legacy includes such classics as My Blue Heaven, There's No Business Like Show Business, Anything Goes, Les Girls and, of course, South Pacific. We are going to miss her terribly!

RIP, Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber, aka Mitzi Gaynor (4th September 1931 - 17th October 2024)

    1. I have my seat reserved already! It's in the pink banquette booth, between Dame Angela Lansbury, Elaine Stritch and Lily Savage. I'm hoping Mitzi, Raquel Welch and Raffaella Carra will be heading to the stage to do a Bob Fosse number... Jx

    3. Well, there's a much better party to be had there than in the corporeal world, that's for sure! Jx

  3. Not Mitzi !!!
    Oh no ! Too much has gone to Fabulon.
    A spark extinguished that’s for sure, loved her tv shows in the states, especially Mitzi’s male dancers :-) Fabulon better have a dance floor that doesn’t quit, it’s gonna need it !
    Mitzi was a great supporter of dancers and lgbt rights in the USA :-)
