Helen Morgan: The Original Torch Singer and Ziegfeld’s Last Star Author Christopher S. Connelly
Description
My guest is Christopher S. Connelly, author of Helen
Morgan: The Original Torch Singer and Ziegfeld’s Last Star. Morgan was a hugely popular singer and actress who set the template for musical theater performance
style. We talked about Morgan’s big heart, her deeply emotional connection with audiences, and how her approach to life was more Auntie Mame than as the
downtrodden songstress she has been typically rumored to be.
