I was about 6 years old. We were at the "Boscov's" department store and she was signing autographs. My father said, "She is really famous, go get her autograph". I had no idea, but glad he told me to go talk to her. She was very nice!
Miss Lamour paid Mike such a nice compliment, with which I certainly agree. This brings back memories of when the big stars were gracious and classy. Mike's audiences were three generations: you could watch with your parents and grandparents. So different from the screaming, 3-ring circuses on the air now. Interesting conversations and great guests, like Miss Lamour. She was Hollywood Royalty.
@@gingerlord4983 because I’m very fascinated by the many articles and videos I’ve come across that claim Dorothy Lamour was “passing”. Super interesting to me. Is that okay with you?
DOROTHY LAMOUR!!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY ANGEL. MY QUEEN. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD WE LOVE YOU. JESUS WE LOVE YOU. MY 36 ANGELS I LOVE YOU.
Thanks so much for this. I was a dancer in the Dorothy Lamour national tour of Hello, Dolly! (though not, however, in the Las Vegas run). Lamour was a joy to work with. For those interested, there's a 5-minute audiobook excerpt on CZcams of my time with her, taken from my autobiography, The Wrong Side of the Room: A Life in Music Theater, in which there is an entire chapter devoted to the tour.

I loved watching Mike Douglas (which I believe used to be on at 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday). Wow. It is amazing how obviously different things were back then.

From a mad keen 75yo Aussie fan.
What a lovely lady & a great performer.
Wonderful interview....
I love her too and have been a fan-colllector for 40 years. I hope to find some more rare video on her to add.
What you see is what you get with Dottie Lamour: Down-to-earth, humble, classy, interesting, and so beautiful and talented! Thanks for posting!

Dorothy Lamour and my grandmother were friends. They went to beauty school together here in New Orleans.
What ethnicity was your grandmother?
My grandmother was Sicilian/Irish. They grew up in the same neighborhood.

She was a good actress and singer.
"This is the beginning of the end." A sad and sublime song she sang in Johnny Apollo.
