Mmmm, and it’s Lesley Ann Warren in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. It was made for TV in 1965 and I loved it to death every year when they’d show it. Never knew Ginger Rogers played the Queen, speaking of shameful musical ignorance.

But the nonsnotty part is that it was Carol Burnett’s big break, which I knew you’d actually want to know.

Wow. You have some really snotty friends. I would NEVER have pointed out to you that you were wrong about the origins of this musical or about Sarah Jessica Parker’s career.

(Okay. So I came to this “comments” section to do precisely that. I’m a bitch!)

[...] I’ve already mentioned once or twice, we went to a wedding last weekend. It was truly lovely, but I did walk away missing one [...]

I’m satisfied with just “ever after” though it has only been 11 years. Must be the season though, because quite a few long-termers have been dropping off over the past couple years… sad.

I love the picture of Sophie The Bride.

Hmmm… my parents are 50 years but it’s hard to define it as perkily happy, more like enduring:) Having married at 41 it’s doubtful I’ll be married that long- it’s damn hard too!
I have the Rodgers and Hammerstein version of CInderella- soo… good. “In my own little corner in my own little room…..” Perfect for brides/princesses in training!
She looks beautiful!

I consider myself to be pretty happily married, but even I don’t recommend anyone putting “Till death do us part” in their wedding when I do my pre-marital counseling (I’m ordained ya know).

Try Youtube for a clip, or possibly Amazon for a video. I believe Liza Minelli starred in a version that was on TV when I was much younger. The story is based on the “Princess and the Pea,” and is awfully funny. YOur girls would probably love it. You might also look for Leslie Ann Downs’ version of Rodgers & Hammersteins’ “Cinderella.” That was also a big hit when I was a kid, and both the music and her voice were wonderful. Very much a sing-along show.

I’ve never commented before, but love reading your blog. Hugs to all of you from SC.

whoops! thanks, chris. i always tend to think that SJP’s career began with LA Story but of course i know that’s not true. and — interesting about Once Upon a Mattress. i wish i could get ahold of a movie version — is there one? we just have the one song in this morning’s “broadway revue”.

Once Upon a Mattress actually came out in the 50s! and SJP was one of the original Annies on Broadway! What a fun story. I hope the girls had fun in their show.
