Our #RetroView birthday girl this month is Martha Raye, who was born in Butte, Montana on this day in 1916. She would go on to have a nearly 6 decade career in film, TV, radio, and on stage. She was buried with full military honors due to her extensive USO work🎂

Enter our birthday girl: Martha Raye as Betty. She was known for her distinctively big mouth, great physical comedy and for her many decades of USO work

Musical Interlude: Now for something fun. The 1941 film HELLZAPOPPIN is criminally unknown, largely because confusion over the rights has prevented a DVD release and restoration. But it was a movie way ahead of its time, an anarchistic, self-referential comedy more in line with the Warner Bros cartoons, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, the films of Mel Brooks, and Police Squad! and its ilk. You can find it on Youtube and it's worth hunting down, if nothing else for one of the best dance scenes ever filmed...but this is not that scene. Here we have a YOUNG Martha Raye (remember her?) doing a good job with a swing tune.
"Watch the Birdie," performed by Martha Raye, from the film HELLZAPOPPIN'.
