As a child on stage, Martha Raye (1916-1994) proudly embraced the
role of the clown, her gift for slapstick comedy enhanced by a fine
singing voice. She became a star with her first feature film,
Rhythm on the Range (1936), as the zany, loudmouthed girl looking
for love-or chasing it as it ran away. She won popular and critical
acclaim with The Martha Raye Show (1954-1956) before it was
abruptly cancelled, partly due to her chaotic personal life.
Drawing on new interviews with colleagues, this retrospective
covers the life and career of an enduringly funny lady who
influenced a generation of women comedians. Her reign as a top NBC
star of the 1950s is covered, along with her appearances on popular
variety shows, her roles in fondly remembered series like The
Bugaloos, McMillan and Alice, and her film career that teamed her
with the likes of Jack Benny, Charlie Chaplin and Doris Day.
