Ann Blyth appears to be feeding a castmate some lunch while on the set of Kismet (1955). You can next see this lavish musical on Turner Classic Movies tomorrow, Thursday the 24th at 6 p.m. ET.
From my book, Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star. --
Ann’s
most famous number, “Baubles, Bangles, and Beads,” is a slow waltz-tune during
which she changes from a ragged street urchin to desirable woman. A bolt
of yellow cloth is chucked across the screen and she catches it, like grabbing
the brass ring...
Could
she have ever imagined while lip-syncing that lovely tune to the playback of
her lovely voice on the faux Persian soundstage that she’d still be singing it
in concert decades later?
