She was a “brilliant force of nature” and a “national treasure”, fondly remembered for her dynamic cabaret performances in her black tights, floppy hat, and white shirt, belting Sondheim’s “The Ladies Who Lunch” and other signature songs.
She appeared in numerous stage plays, musicals, feature films, and television series as well as receiving 4 Tony nominations and several Emmys. Her one-woman show, ELAINE STRITCH AT LIBERTY, won a Tony award for Best Special Theatrical Event. For many years she resided at the Carlyle Hotel in New York where she performed at the renowned Café Carlyle. Her continued presence was as well known as Eloise at the Plaza.
Loved by her fellow performers, her talent and spunk were memorialized by Broadway on her death when all theatre lights were dimmed in her honor.
