Actress, Comedienne. She was the elfin actress and satiric comedienne who co-starred with Sid Caesar on television's 1950s classic "Your Show of Shows." Her saucer eyes, fluttering lashes, big smile, and boundless energy lit up the TV screen and brought her an Emmy as best actress in 1951. A talented singer and dancer, her spoofs of opera divas and prima ballerinas tiptoed a fine line between dignity and absurdity until she pushed them over the edge.
