    In 1971, when I was14 years old, I wrote
    to Patsy Kelly when she was in the Broadway show no no Nanette. She wrote me back saying if I ever came to New York to see the show to come back stage and see her. She sent me a letter which I showed to the doorman and my parents and I went backstage. She was so nice and pleasant, and acted like she was my grandmother and knew me for years. That was the first of four trips over the next two years that I stopped by to see her. She always remembered my name and couldn’t have been nicer to a little kid!!

    This is a wonderful tribute to Patsy Kelly I've always loved her and she had a beautiful singing voice you didn't get to hear very often on. Unfortunately the sound on this tape is very bad I don't know if it's the tape itself or my phone but I'm still doing my best to enjoy it I am

    An excellent biography. I have always been a fan of Patsy and loved her verbal and physical comedic talents. Fuel for thought: If Desilu hadn't found their goldmine in Vivian Vance, picture Patsy as Ethel Mertz.

    Exceptionally informative documentary on the illimitably talented, prolific, Patsy Kelly. And, she came out in 1935(!), refusing to play it safe and live a lie. Trailblazer, and on multiple levels. Patsy was a survivor; she owned herself. The epitome of Courageous. 💜

    Interesting topic, but, dude, you need help with the sound. Levels range all over the place from too loud to WAY too soft, both on your voiceover and the clips.

      Despite Patsy's kind thoughts about Frank..he was not well liked..due to his becoming violent..when drunk and he was also a Jew hater.
