Well hope you all had a nice Christmas. It's that funny 'tween time now, when 'taint Christmas and 'taint New Years. So I thought I'd fill in the gap between the two holidays with a few fun old videos from our friends at YouTube. (my apologies to anyone whose work blocks out YouTube). For everyone else, I hope you enjoy this campy collection of Carol Channing videos. (after all, she is practically my neighbor)
Below: you just can't beat Carol Channing, Della Reese, Ann Miller and Ethel Merman on The Love Boat...
And below, here is a VERY short clip with her now immortal role in "Thoroughly Modern Millie". Carol plays a rich, madcap widow named Muzzy Van Hossmere, who makes her big entrance flying in a biplane, sloshing champagne, and screaming "Raaaassspberries!"
And finally, below this clip from Alice in Wonderland with Miss Carol Channing playing the White Queen.

Carol was the lady that taught me that diamonds are a girls best friend and I'll be damned if she wasn't right!
Those are some great clips...lol!!

Rick - I know I'm going to lose Princess Points for this but.....I thought Carol Channing was dead. Thank you for setting me straight on this one...so to speak.
I got to see Carol Channing in Hello Dolly! when I was a kid. I'll never forget it.....I love that woman!
Dear, you do know a good Diva! TNX
She's still alive?! AHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!
Well I'm sure she looks better than Zsa Zsa! Did ya ever hear the joke about Carol?
She was in a bathroom stall and someone overheard her say in her typical voice, "Corn?! I don't remember having any corn!"
We want all Carol Channing, all the time!
