Jane Morgan is DEAD TO ME!

Singing Fascination on the Ed Sullivan Show.

In a death threesome with Julian McMahon.

She was supposed to have been an excellent MAME and toured a lot with the show.

Where's that old clip of her singing "We Need a Little Christmas" on The Ed Sullivan Show (with DL fave Helen Gallagher as Gooch)?

I remember as a kid a 45 record of hers was included with purchase.

I always confused her with Jaye P. Morgan.

She was also the penultimate Mame in the original Broadway production. She preceded Ann Miller, the final Broadway Mame.

Jaye P. is still alive at 93.

Practically a baby.

Her answer record to A Boy Named Sue, A Girl Named Johnny Cash, is a classic.

RIP.

My favorite performance. And yes I learned the choreography! C’est si bon!

Never heard of this saloon singer.

What took her life?

SIDS, Rose.

Rest In Peace, Jane Morgan.

Actually saw her in "Mame" on Broadway back in the late '60's. My parents liked her.

What's with the R12 looking up the chorus girls' dresses? And Jane's hair is so stiff.

Deadline.

"Natural causes"? So I guess we can't blame this one on an oil rig fire.

R17 it’s a blonde helmet and the up skirt shot is the HooHooVue cam

The day that the rains came down...

Under Paris Skies

Did you also learn *this* choreography, r12?

R22 Yes I did. I also have that dress. Purple gossamer makes my skin positively GLOW!

Oh, wow, R11, I had NEVER heard of that song.

It is phenomenal, arguably even better than "Boy Named Sue."

Thanks for posting it.

That DEADLINE obit is quite impressive, Jane was far more prolific, successful and beloved than I'd realized. Plus 4 adopted kids and one long happy and financially bountiful marriage!

She was a Sally.

She is simply delightful. It's a shame she wasn't able to hold onto her looks in later years.
