Oh man. I grew up with a Betamax copy of South Pacific playing constantly in the background and knew all of the songs. I adored her in that movie. RIP to a funny lady.

Just watched South Pacific on TCM a few days ago - what a movie - what a star.

D'ya ever get the feeling like the whole world's a tuxedo Mitzi Gaynor and you're just a pair of brown shoes plain old George Gobel?
