| Summary | Ethel Merman (1908-1984) was an American actress and singer. She was a legendary figure in the history of the American musical theater and during her career on Broadway, in Hollywood, and on television, and was known for her belting voice and strong stage presence. The collection chiefly consists of scripts, lyric sheets, photographs, and notes from the various productions in which Merman starred, but also includes correspondence, music, clippings, and programs. |
