There is a bench in Central Park dedicated to her memory. The exact location is near The Reservoir on W 87th St Central Park.

I am so excited to read Madeline's biography! It's already on my must read list. I read Gilda's "It's Always Something" and it was so moving, I know Madeline's will be just as moving and beautiful.

We are really lucky we got an incredible writer it’s going to be amazing. I’m counting down the days!

Was Madeline close to her half-sister? Or did she mostly steer clear of her biological father's family?

I can’t really answer this question 100% so instead of giving a maybe right, possibly wrong answer I will say information will be in the upcoming biography. When it comes to Madeline’s life in general there is sadly little to none information about her out there that’s why this book is a blessing and a necessity. It’s worth the purchase :)

Is there any evidence that Burt Reynolds and Madeline had a thing? They are ADORABLE together. (Maybe something will come about in the biography)

No, they didn’t have anything between them except friendship. Madeline would have loved it to be more though. And I agree I really like them together.

Happy New Year!!!! I 💖 your blog, it's a lovely dedication to Madeline 👍. Are you excited about the biography coming out this March?. I would of never of know if I hadn't stumbled upon your blog, and for that, I thank you😊 xoxo

Happy new year! The book comes out May 1 and to say I am excited is an understatement! And thank you very much, that makes me happy :)

Would you happen to have a link to watch Judy Berlin? I'm dying to see it, but I can't find it anywhere.

I’m sorry I don’t but it’s on dvd for a really cheap price especially used. Happy new year!

Have you seen Slapstick of Another Kind? Is it worth a watch? I'm aware of all the negativity towards it and that it's considered one of the worst films ever made. However, I am interested in seeing Madeline in a dual performance. Is it worth checking out? Also how is Won Ton Ton the Dog Who Saved Hollywood? I know Madeline is the female lead in it. Does she have a lot of screentime?

Yes, I have seen it and no it’s not worth a watch lol It’s the only film of Madeline’s that I never intend to see again. I like to pretend it never happened. It’s on Youtube if you are interested though.

I like Won Ton Ton but surprisingly she isn’t in every scene even though she is the star. There are just so many people in the film it’s ridiculous so she isn’t in it 24/7. But she gives good silent star style acting and facial expressions. The film overall isn’t great however. I just watch her scenes as is the case with a couple of her films actually.

Awesome! Madeline is one of my favorite actresses in the history of the world! ( no pun intended...well maybe a little) i grew up watching her, starting with Young Frankenstein at a very young age. This is great! Thank you for all the wonderful posts on the lovely Madeline Kahn. May she rest in Heaven.
