REX REED REMEMBERS POLLY BERGEN
Presented by Will Friedwald’s Clip Joint and The Triad Theater
Polly Bergen (1930-2014) was an actress and singer with an illustrious career in the movies (including at least three classic comedies with Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis) but even more so on television; in fact, her career spans the very history of the small screen medium, starting with appearances on pioneering broadcasts of the late 1940s right up to a memorable regular role in the hit series DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES - although she was probably best known for starring in the PLAYHOUSE 90 biography of HELEN MORGAN. (In other guises, she was an entrepreneur and a committed Democrat.) Join Rex Reed and Will Friedwald as they reminisce over the Polly Bergen her amazing career with personal anecdotes and rare footage from a wide range of classic TV variety shows including THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE, THE ANDY WILLIAMS SHOW, THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW, THE PERRY COMO KRAFT MUSIC HALL, and appearances with PHIL SILVERS, GEORGE BURNS, RED SKELTON and many others.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime talk-and-video event!
