She loved Christmas so much, she kept her tree up year-round.
Her final film role was in Airplane!
She said “I can hold a note as long as the Chase National Bank.”
Of Mary Martin, she said, “She's okay, if you like talent.”
She was known for her powerful, belting mezzo-soprano voice, enunciation and pitch.

Ethel Merman?
Correct!
She had a cameo in Airplane. Blaine got a glimpse of the uber slap-stickness of Airplane last night. It's been so long since I've seen the whole thing that I'd forgotten who all was in it! Her part is pretty funny.
