One of Our All-Time Favorites in a Silver Screen Dynamite Spectacular The 1967 musical film “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” sung by the one and only Miss Carol Channing, remains a technicolor triumph.
Starring as the unforgettable Muzzy Van Hossmere, Carol performed the show-stopping number “Jazz Baby.” Though not the lead, her radiant presence stole scenes and earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
A true original. A dazzling dynamo. A genuine genius with that “IT” factor you simply can’t learn. Bravo-bravissima to the eternal great Carol Channing!
INYIM Did You Know? Before she lit up the silver screen, Carol Channing became a Broadway legend with over 5,000 performances as Dolly Levi in Hello, Dolly! And in the 1970s, she made halftime history as the first celebrity woman to headline a Super Bowl performance!
Now tell us—what’s your favorite Carol Channing moment? Or which iconic musical performance still leaves you jazzed? Let the nostalgia parade begin.
