Sean 6,365 Posted August 19, 2015 The Tony and Golden Globe Winner and Oscar nominated actress singer and subject of regular impersonations by Ryan Stiles, Carol Channing turns 95 next January . She is best known for appearing in Hello Dolly!which earned her a Tony award. She also won a golden globe award and on Oscar nomination for Thoroughly Modern Millie.She is also a dancer and a stand up comedienne. So a pretty much all round performer who fits into several different threads. I definitely think she is a name that sounds very Death List worthy. Sir Creep also reckons she is on her way out so if he is right this thread gives him the perfect space to be as smug as he wishes to be Looks and sounds weak in this commercial last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mANJ9T_Bsaw Channing in action as a very creepy Queen in Alice in Wonderland. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,071 Posted January 14, 2017 Paula Dell, a pioneering stuntwoman and acrobat who was once shot out of a cannon in Thoroughly Modern Millie as Carol Channings stand-in, died Monday. She was 90 years old. Can Carol be far behind? SC http://ew.com/movies/2017/01/13/paula-dell-dead-hollywood-stuntwoman-dies-90/ [back to Dell: In her nearly 40-year Hollywood career, Dell served as stunt double for Julie Andrews in Star! (1968) and Jaclyn Smith on the original Charlies Angels series. Dell also did work for Camelot (1967), Blazing Saddles (1974), Airplane! (1980), Mystery Men (1999), and more.] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
