Barbra Streisand

From The Judy Garland Show #9, aired 10-6-63.

Extract from The Judy Garland Show DVD Volume 5:

"(...) But the penultime moment of Show #9 came (almost) by accident. When [Norman] Jewison [the director] discovered that Ethel Merman was on site at CBS that week for The Red Skelton Hour, he suggested she also appear as an unbilled addition to Garland's show. Although Merman's appearance was a surprise only to the audience, even Variety concurred, 'It looked unrehearsed.' And if Ethel's take-charge demeanor momentarily overwhelmed Barbra, Judy took her old friend's bombast in stride, managing to both literally step back and remain in benevolent control of the moment. As Jewison rhapsodized years later: 'The three belters! God, they were sublime.'"
