Florence Henderson

AlEADY PERFORMED THIS SEASON

A Live Interview On Stage

From the boards of the Broadway stage to television and the silver screen, Florence Henderson has conquered just about every aspect of entertainment. So successfully, in fact, that the multi-talented actress, talk show host, recording artist, author, Broadway veteran and philanthropist was inducted into the Smithsonian Institute's first permanent Entertainment History Exhibit as one of the greatest pop cultural icons of all time as well as receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Henderson's career is as active today as when she first appeared as the "Today Girl" on NBC's Today Show and the first woman to host The Tonight Show. Florence is no stranger to television today, appearing on such popular prime time programs as Samantha Who? and made-for-television specials, such as the critically acclaimed movie of the week for Hallmark entitled Ladies of the House and the very popular RLTV Network's Florence Henderson Show currently airing on DirectTV. Of course, she will always be best known in syndication worldwide as "America's Favorite Mom" and matriarch Carol Brady on the classic hit TV series The Brady Bunch.

Carol Channing

Due to complications from a recent injury, Ms. CAROL CHANNING's doctors have advised against air travel from the west coast to Connecticut. Carol appreciates everyone's concern and understanding and is looking forward to fulfilling her commitment at a later date.

Actress Carol Channing was born on January 21, 1921, in Seattle, Washington. Channing made her Broadway debut in 1941's Never Take No for an Answer. With her megawatt wide-eyed grin and raspy voice, Channing made a name for herself in 1949 when she starred as Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. It was in this role that she immortalized the anthem Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend. Though she lost the Lorelei Lee role to Marilyn Monroe in the 1952 film version, she remained active in nightclub and review appearances throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. Her next Broadway hit did not arrive until 1963, when she landed the role of Dolly Gallegher Levi in the blockbuster musical Hello, Dolly! She won a Tony Award for her performance, but again forfeited the on-screen role to a young Barbra Streisand. In 1966, Channing was awarded an Emmy for the 1966 TV special An Evening With Carol Channing and received an Oscar nod for her supporting performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie in 1967. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Channing has lent her signature voice to animated films, including Shinbone Alley, Happily Ever After and Thumbelina. She has also supplied voices for the animated television series Where's Waldo?, The Addams Family and The Magic School Bus. In 1995, Channing was honored at the Tony Awards with a lifetime achievement award.

Channing was married to Charles Lowe from 1956 until his death in 1999. She married her junior high school sweetheart, Harry Kullijian, at the age of 82 in 2003.

Rich Little

Already performed this season

Starring in "Jimmy Stewart and Friends"

Legendary comedian and impressionist Rich Little returns to the stage with his one-man show, "Jimmy Stewart & Friends." The show features Little's impressions of more than 25 celebrity voices including Cary Grant, George Burns, Ronald Reagan, Katherine Hepburn and John Wayne. Together, the voices take audiences into the life of famed actor Jimmy Stewart. Little appeared on The Judy Garland Show, Laugh In and the John Davidson Summer Show. He later became a household name as a regular on Hollywood Squares. Little also had his own variety show in the '70s and was a guest host on The Tonight Show 12 times.

Besides politicians, you might hear the voices of Edith Bunker, Kermit the Frog, Robin Leach, the Bundys of Married with Children, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Jay Leno or Robin Williams.

Little's expert impressions are so well-known and so well-respected that he has stepped in for stars who were unable to do their own dubbings on soundtracks. David Niven's vocal cords were gone due to illness in his last film, Curse of the Pink Panther. Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer TV series needed voice-over narrations on three shows when star Stacey Keach was in an English prison. Little was called in to finish the job. He also did Gene Kelly for a Christmas special when Kelly lost his voice.
