Her voice was perfect for the role--her acting was superb! Her performance made the film for me.

Mitzi set out to win the role, for weeks she prepared for the audition, not easy to imagine South Pacific without her in it. N

R.I.P. Mitzi, you were a beautiful lady and great

[robertwilkins]

SHE WAS PERFECTION in one of the very greatest movies.

Mitzi is the nicest person I've met. What you see is what you get. She is a real beauty.

[mikewilliams]

That's what they call nailing it.

This phenomenal film was part of my childhood, our parents had the soundtrack LP, we saw it at the cinema & I always watch it whenever it’s on TV & never tire of it. I saw the latest stage production last night at the Sadlers Wells theatre in London, a brilliant production, I sang along to every number, pure magic. Mitzi Gaynor made this film what it is, such talent & beauty.

[ClassicDamsel]

She definitely deserved to win the part! Such a beautiful woman. Thanks for sharing!

[tobeetwo]

She has everything that is star quality, plus a raving beauty!

[scottmiller]

What a fantastic performance this was! This version is even better than the movie version, hands down Period

[kathleenramsey]

She had such a beautiful talent. And was so under-rated. I've always liked her voice.

[avuncular]

So - Doris Day had been considered for the part. But politics and manoeuvring saw her off. Much as I adore Doris, it was great that Mitzi came through with flying colours.  Bravo....

A self deprecating and marvelous gal. She left Hollywood on her own terms . She admitted the camera didn't love her .
She found success in Vegas where she performed variety acts for years . I wonder what parts came her way in Hollywood and which ones she turned down . I wonder if it was on someone's advice that she seek another medium to display her talents. A wonderfully talented. Honest. Caring. Person
Bless you

One of my favorite songs from South Pacific. Thanks for posting.
