In Memoriam: TV’s Broadway and Music Women, Part 1

Description
Our In Memoriam episodes have become an annual tradition. As the universe of known, talented women in TV gets larger every year, so too does the number of women that we honor. In this first of two episodes, we highlight some of the women of music and theatre who made significant contributions to our culture and society. We lost some very big names in 2022, but as you’ve come to expect with these episodes, we also celebrate the talent and achievements of those who were not quite thought of as a “big name.”   REFERENCES AND MENTIONS In Memoriam: Angela Lansbury / MSW https://advancedtvherstory.libsyn.com/in-memoriam-angela-lansbury-msw Pat Carroll: Gertrude Stein was never a bore https://www.csmonitor.com/1981/0108/010861.html Debbie Allen Shapes a Different World https://advancedtvherstory.libsyn.com/debbie-allen-shapes-a-different-world Olivia Newton-John - the Making of “Physical” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXitXrVsndg Olivia Newton-John on Murphy Brown https://youtu.be/YrwqwZ02gM0 Erica Gimpel on Twitter: @ericagimpel www.freemusicarchive.org   CONNECT WITH CYNTHIA BEMIS ABRAMS Instagram: @advancedtvherstory Twitter: @TVHerstory  Website: https://www.tvherstory.com/ Apple podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/advanced-tv-herstory/id1014759821 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TVHerstory/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@advancedtvherstory/featured
