Mary Martin: America's Sweetheart
"Oh, she's OK if you like talent." That's Ethel Merman's tongue-in-cheek assessment of her buddy Mary, who won instant Broadway stardom singing Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." That was in 1938followed bya dazzling 40-year career that included Nellie Forbush in South Pacific, the title role in Peter Pan, and the first Maria in The Sound of Music. This self-described "hayseed from Texas" could charm the birds off the trees, but her wholesomeness belied a come-hither sexiness. As for her outlook on life, critic Brooks Atkinson said it all when Peter Pan opened: "I don't know what all the fuss is about. I always knew Mary Martin could fly."
