Elaine Stritch has died.

[Puglover]

I know this will probably sink like a stone but I wanted to acknowledge her passing.

She was a legend and simply one of a kind.

Travel well great lady.

8. Good night, Elaine

In “At Liberty,” Ms. Stritch earned one of her biggest laughs with a story about a long night of drinking with a friend. The story was ostensibly about the friend — Judy Garland — but it was self-reflective, too. Along about breakfast time, Ms. Stritch recalled, Garland turned to her.

“Elaine, I never thought I’d say this,” Garland said, “but good night.”

I just thanked my husband for taking me. I wanted to see her in person before she left us.

21. Watch this.

This is her complete Tony Award winning, one woman Broadway show. Well worth a watch.

RIP, Ms. Stritch. The world will be a little less interesting without you.

22. I saw her in 'Company' over 40 years ago. What a gem. Thanks for posting..

She was one of a kind.

[Puglover]

What a precious memory!

24. I was lucky enough to see the Liberty show in '02.

Wonderful night.

26. I knew I recognized the name, and then when I read the article,

I realized who she was. In my life, I've had the great fortune to know some ladies who had personalities similar to Ms. Stritch's, and they have been wonderful people to know. "Tart-tongued" hard-drinking women are always refreshing. I hope Ms. Stritch has a beautiful life in the great beyond.
