The current problem of a jaunty young comedienne named Tammy Grimes
is that
of
too many talents.
Tammy
can act
Henry IV, Part I
and
Look After Lulu.
She can greet
an audience
with
finishing school
urbanity
and then knock it
in the sides
with an
"Old English" madrigal
("Gaily skippeth,
nylon rippeth,
zipper zippeth,
whoop-de-do")
She has
in fact,
enough imagination
and enthusiasm
and energy
to make several Tammys.
Esquire has collected
a few of these,
and the various
visual manifestations
of Miss Grimes,
who will star this fall
in the
Dory Schary Theatre Guild
production of
The Unsinkable Molly Brown
are scattered,
for investigators of
unsolved Grimes,
about these pages.
