Edie Adams was probably most known for her later comedic roles in movies, but she got her start on stage and on TV, particularly with her husband, Ernie Kovacs, on his NBC TV variety show. By this year, 1955, she'd already starred on Broadway with Rosalind Russell in Wonderful Town and the next year would star as Daisy Mae in the musical Li'l Abner, so she had musical credibility and then some. She'd also attended both Julliard and The Actor's Studio. She was a good mimic and a recurring bit on the show was her impersonation of Marilyn. My brothers and I watched Kovacs faithfully and I remember her doing the character, but not this number. "The Ballad of Davy Crockett".
