Janice Paige: any dish?

Didnt she flash her boobs on the gong show? I think?

Good cock sucker

Is she bi or gay? She was so glamorous

Sorry. It was Jaye P Morgan who flashed tits. They fired her.

Janis Paige, who is 97, is a sadly underrated American musical star. She was a young starlet in Hollywood moviea in the 40s, but she finally made it big on Broadway in The Pajama Game in 1954. She later followed Angela Lansbury as Mame on Broadway in the 60s.

Married three times, divorced twice, widowed once, she is a Republican who supported the campaign of Dwight Eisenhower during the 1952 presidential election.

In 2017, aged 95, Paige wrote a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter in which she stated that Alfred Bloomingdale had attempted to rape her when she was 22 years old.

^^ So young

JANIS Paige had verve to spare.

Even before I knew that she had played "Mame" on Broadway, I always felt that Janis (whom I saw on practically every TV show in the 1970's and 80's) was sort of an "Auntie Mame" type. "V is for Vivian!" introduced her on "Eight is Enough" as Dick Van Patten's sister, and she was always "vivacious". After a 6 week run on "Capitol", she had a longer run on "General Hospital" (Katharine Delafield's wacky counterfeiter aunt) and "Santa Barbara", replacing Judith Anderson as no-nonsense Minx Lockridge. She's four years older now than Dame Judith was when she died. I saw her once at a fund raiser (during her "Santa Barbara" days), and she was stunning to look at. I have several of her stage souvenir programs: "The Pajama Game" & "Mame" (on Broadway) and "Guys & Dolls" on tour, with Constance Towers. She would have played Babe in the movie version of "The Pajama Game" had Sinatra signed as they wanted as much of the OBC as they could get, but he declined, so John Raitt was offered the chance to repeat his role and Doris Day was offered Babe. She was reunited with Doris in "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" just a few years later. The IMDb calls her "a joyous scene stealer".

I tell you, the word "verve" was invented for her...

She was absolutely vervacious!

She also gave off a distinctly lesbian vibe, which is a good thing.

Here she is outsinging Dinah Shore.

Just watched her chew the fuck out of the scenery in the shock loony bin classic THE CARETAKERS (63). She's a nympho in that one, needling Polly Bergen into even greater feats of over-acting.

She's perfectly spectacular here, matching Astaire step for step. Not many could do that (Charisse, Garland, Hayworth). These steps require real skill and that is one tight 1950s silhouette she's sporting.

They should turn it into a musical, r11.

She appeared in the Kenley Player's production of "Sweet Charity" in the early 1970's. One of the stage songs mentions Bloomingdale's which considering what happened with Alfred Bloomingdale makes me wonder how she dealt with that.

Four words in your thread title and you STILL got one of them wrong.

One Sunday Afternoon....

Cheyenne (1947)

She's still alive.

Satin & Silk....

r18 Yes, we know. OP mentioned that in his intro.
