i heard that many celebs attended tapings of this show. mary tyler moore and lucille ball i know were in attendence for the premiere. kay thompson, judy's good friend and liza's godmother, was in the audience for a few tapings. dirk bogarde, ella fitzgerald, jayne mansfield, and andy williams allegedly attended. it was 'dancing with the stars' 60's style. i'm pissed that judy's show didn't last longer. who else attended tapings of her show?

Ethel Merman was in the audience the night Barbra Streisand was the guest.

Merman's appearance was obviously planned and 'planted.'

Glenn Ford & Ms. Garland were an "item" during much of the show's run.
