The Los Angeles Times called her "The nation's number one female song and dance star…Glittering perfection." "Magnificent" was the verdict of Women's Wear Daily. Rex Reed weighed in with "One of the colossal talents of our age." And Life magazine extolled, "She began at the top and climbed even higher." Before there was TV's hit Dancing With The Stars, there was Mitzi Gaynor --- the original television star dancer! Mitzi Gaynor dazzled audiences with her annual award winning network television variety spectaculars, from 1968 to 1978, averaging over 30 million viewers each, showcasing the singing, dancing and comedic talents that made her a star in the theatre, film, television, nightclub and concert worlds. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of her first televised special (Mitzi, NBC, 1968) and the 50th anniversary of her break-through Golden Globe nominated performance in the blockbuster film Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific, City Lights Home Entertainment in association with Green Isle, Inc. is releasing "Mitzi Gaynor – Razzle Dazzle! The Special Years," a new documentary encompassing the ultimate collection of song and dance performances from Gaynor's classic network television specials unseen for three decades. |
