Happy Birthday, Lotte
Today in 1898 Lotte Lenya was born in Vienna. Best known for singing the songs of Kurt Weill, her husband, including Tony-award-winning performance as Jenny in the off-Broadway production of The Threepenny Opera (the only off-Broadway winner ever, by the way), she also earned an Oscar nomination for playing Contessa Magda Terribili-Gonzales in The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, and she's also well known for From Russia With Love, in which she played the switchblade-shoe-wearing Rosa Klebb.ps - this post originally had a picture of Blossome Dearie on it!

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->That's Anita O'Day, not Lotte Lenya!
Yes, I meant to correct this one as not being Lotte but hadn't gotten around to it. Thanks. Except that it's Blossom Dearie, not Anita O'Day.
