...idea of emulating Merman is intimidating, but the part has proved irresistible. Rosalind Russell memorably played it on film in 1962. A 1974 Broadway revival brought Angela Lansbury a Tony award, and a 1989 revival did the same for Tyne Daly. Gypsy has never been better told nor Momma Rose more arrestingly played, however, than in the 3-hr. CBS television version to air this Sunday starring Bette Midler.

...caption that said, 'My name is Jimmy, but they call me the hideous penguin boy.' And I got this weird chill." As Penguin, DeVito gamely spewed black bile (food coloring and mouthwash) and ate raw fish (seasoned with lemon).
