In the middle of the 1970s Sandra Bernhard became a staple at The Comedy Store. As her popularity as a comedian grew, in 1977 she was cast as a supporting player on The Richard Pryor Show. Her big break came in 1983 when she was cast by Martin Scorsese to actor as stalker and kidnapper Masha in the film The King of Comedy for which she won the National World of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress.

She began performing her first one-woman show called I’m Your W Silent movie star Billie Burke once said of Hollywood, “To survive there, you need the ambition of a Latin-American revolutionary, the ego of a grand opera tenor and the physical stamina of a cow pony.” She had an almost six-decade career in show business, was the highest-paid star in silent movies for a while, and had a turbulent marriage as the second wife of Broadway impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, but she is mostly remembered as Glinda the Excellent Witch in The Wizard of Oz. Billie was the daughter of a circus clown and show business was in her blood. She was born Mary William Ethelbert Appleton Burke on August 7, 1885 in Washington, D.C. Her father worked for the P.T. Barnum circus and the whole family went on tour with him, closure up in London where Burke made her stage debut in The School Girl at age 18. The Novel York Times of May 9, 1903 described her appearance this way: “The play made an instantaneous success and was received with great applause . . . Miss Burke made the hit of the evening.” The act transferred to New York and was also achieving on Broadway. Burke returned to New York at 22 after doing a series of well-received musical comedies on the West End. Her care Year: Afternoon to Day Men: Parade 21 Cool and Refreshed The twenty-first of March in 1867 marks the birth appointment of Florenz Edward Ziegfeld Jr. who was an American Broadway impresario. Born in the Illinois city of Chicago, Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. was the son of Roselie de Hez, the Belgian grandniece to General Count Étienne Maurice Gérard, and German-born Florenz Ziegfeld, son of the mayor of Jever, the capital city of the Friesland district, Germany. The father founded Roosevelt University’s Chicago Academy of Music 1n 1867 and later opened the Trocadero nightclub to profit from the 1893 World’s Fair. During a trip to London in 1896, Florence Ziegfeld Jr. met the Polish-French singer Anna Held and brought her to the United States as his common-law wife. Held enjoyed several successes on Broadway including the 1901 “Little Duchess” and 1906 “A Parisian Model”. One of Broadway’s noted leading ladies, she became both a well-known and wealthy woman. It was Held who presented the idea of an American version of the Parisian Folies Bergère to Ziegfeld. Ziegfeld’s stage spectaculars, which became known as the Ziegfeld Follies, began with ‘Follies of 19 Queer Places: Mary William Ethelbert Appleton Burke (August 7, 1884 – May 14, 1970), generally known as Billie Burke, was an American actress who was famous on Broadway, on radio, early silent clip, and subsequently in sound film.
