As Coco Chanel, self-assured film legend Katherine Hepburn swans her way through the finale of Broadway’s “Coco,” then reveals a singing voice every bit as distinct as that of Lauren Bacall. The intricate set is by Cecil Beaton, and the gowns are a selection of Chanel designs from 1918-1959. Thank you, TimNyTx!
Similarly: Bette Davis does a groovy-granny routine to promote “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” on the Andy Williams Show.

Marc Felion says:
That Betty Davis I love her!
And Katherine as Coco. I think that resurrected her career at the time. That was a very long scene but I love all the red.
trannylover says:
It’s about time John put up another great video! I love your stuff John, you have a great eye and taste for finding perfection.
Rhea says:
Hey, Captain Janeway is all dressed up as a very fashionable older lady– and she’s sing-talking like Magenta! She’s gone mad!
Fausto Fernós says:
She’s so fierce. Grrr!
Maia says:
File under sing-talking, between Felion, Marc and Shatner, William…
Even after watching this strange stage spectacle, I STILL have a crush on Katherine Hepburn.
Cliff Dix says:
Sorry Bette wins. Her song had a nice beat and you can really dance to it.
Marc Felion says:
Nice to see you again Maia! We were just talking about you!
Maia says:
Alive and well! Takes a tickin’ and keeps on lickin’… or something like that.
Leave it to John Q. to post a Kate Hepburn video and bring me out of hiding…
Fausto Fernós says:
Welcome back Maia! We missed you.
patrick says:
isn’t the more appropriate term talk-singing?
the revolving set! the dresses! the mirrored rue cambon staircase! as a jewelry designer with an affinity for chanel costume (and fine) jewelry, this was just too precious! thanks, john!
