I’ve been a big fan of Mr. Bob Mackie ever since my lips were able to say “Bar-bie”. I seriously thought he was exclusively a Barbie doll designer until I got to fashion school…..suffice it to say, once I discovered Cher, Carol Burnett and various other late 60’s TV stars and found out that he made real-people clothing, I was in heaven. I’ve completely dog-eared his copy of “Unmistakably Mackie“, but never really knew who this “Mitzi Gaynor” was that he spoke of.
Fast-forward to a lazy Sunday watching PBS and I came across a fabulous octogenarian pimping out
her DVD “Razzle Dazzle! The Special Years“….. and as it turned out, it was Mitzi. Apparently, she starred in a slew of movies back in the day, the most famous of which being South Pacific, and then did a series of TV specials that consisted of a lot of singing, dancing and dramatic costumes by Mr. Mackie. Here are some of the greatest hits. I’m in glitter-heaven!!!
