Photograph signed "Love/Dody Goodman". B/w, 7¾x9¾ overall, 6½x8¾
image, one surface. Captioned: "Dody Goodman". Goodman (1915-2008,
born Dolores Goodman in Columbus, Ohio) was an American actress of the stage, TV
and silver screen known for her persona as a ditzy, malapropism-dropping
redhead. Goodman got her start in theatre. She made her Broadway debut in
Viva O'Brien (1941) and went on to good reviews in Wonderful
Town (1953-1954, 559 performances). Talk show host Jack Paar took a
shine to her and, in 1957, made her a semi-regular on The Tonight
Show. Paar dropped her by 1961, reportedly because she kept upstaging
him, but she managed to keep her career going on Broadway, where she had a total
of 13 performances, and on talk and game shows. Goodman's career enjoyed a
renaissance in the 1970s with roles as Martha Shumway on Mary Hartman,
Mary Hartman (1976) and as Blanche in the film adaptation of
Grease (1978). She was a frequent guest star on TV after that, with
recurring roles on Diff'rent Strokes (1981-1984) and voice work on the TV
cartoon Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983-1988). Lightly bowed, otherwise in
fine condition.
