Ethel Merman, Agnes Moorehead--1973 Interview With Songs

I like how Agnes Moorehead NEVER speaks negatively of anyone and goes on to build everyone up by saying positive things about them.

Hard to believe Agnes Moorhead was at the end of her life here. She died in April 1974 of uterine cancer, aged 73, having achieved a distinguished 41 year acting career. How smart and charming she was, God bless her.

I can't imagine Jimmy Fallon shutting up long enough to let someone like Agnes Moorehead tell a fascinating story.

Agnes did a twilight zone episode . She had no dialogue and gave one of the greatest performance s. I've ever seen. Without uttering a word.

Here for Agnes Moorehead

I could listen to Moorehead speak forever.

Why aren't people this charming and engaging anymore?!? REAL stars...

I can listen to Agnes Moorhead for hours! She’s enthralling

Her Twilight Zone episode is so good. She doesn't say one word and her acting is all physical. Incredible talent.

I love Agnes’ s reveal of Orson’s genius. Playing it 11 times each with a different approach and then the final time she played it with all of those prior times integrated. What Agnes did not admit is that his approach would only work with talented geniuses like Agnes. And being such a talent she would never admit to being such a talent.

Both ladies had such talent and class.

Agnes Moorehead's portrayal of Aunt Fannie in Magnificent Ambersons was hands down one of the greatest performances of all time.

I adore Agnes Moorhead, what an elegant lady and so much presence! They don't make actresses like that anymore.

Agne's elocution is the best of any actress I have ever seen. Simply superb. She was also really one of the best character actresses of her day and really of any day. She makes today's actors look like cheap salespeople. You can see why she resisted playing Endora in Bewitched at first when asked by Liz Montgomery. It would've felt like a huge comedown for her to play in a mainstream TV sitcom. She was a true Shakespearean actor and could hold herself against the greatest actors and directors of the age. There are simply no actors like Agnes anymore. She had great command, that's something we don't hear about anymore. But when Agnes speaks or is in a room, she owns the space and energy flows around her. That's the mark of great charisma and charisma is the vortex of the art and artistry of acting.

Thank you Agnes for being the humble positive classy wonderful person you are I'm recently enjoying her biography I Love the Illusion. She was always my favorite on Bewitched

I so miss these gracious and articulate interviews.

Agnes Moorehead was a very under rated orator, Star, actress and strong presence. I never tire of her. In fact there’s not enough footage of her imho.

How wonderful!!! Agnes Moorehead is over-the-top terrific.

What an amazing, classy, spirited interview with Agnes Moorehead. So deep, genuine, heart-felt. The exchange is so calm and respectful. Not like today's interviews which are so self-serving, self-aware, pretentious, and shallow. Dick Cavett has always been one of the greats!

Merman attacked each song she ever sang. Her attack hooked the audience. A unique and irreplaceable talent!
