Dazzling Dames of Broadway: Ethel Merman

Ethel Merman has been called "The Grand Dame of the American Musical". In this delightful Women’s History Month presentation, you'll see young Ethel perform in her early Gershwin and Porter musicals, plus several rare clips from her early film career. You'll then see some great moments from her later years, working with Irving Berlin, Styne and Sondheim, and learn all about her youth, her marriages and her devotion to her family.
