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.

May 21, 2008 at 06:47Hey, Captain Janeway is all dressed up as a very fashionable older lady– and she’s sing-talking like Magenta! She’s gone mad!

Even after watching this strange stage spectacle, I STILL have a crush on Katherine Hepburn.

May 21, 2008 at 11:14Sorry Bette wins. Her song had a nice beat and you can really dance to it.
Maia says:
May 21, 2008 at 14:27Alive 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…

May 20, 2008 at 19:25That 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.
