...more decent major-studio part, billed fourth in the Fox drama "One Mile from Heaven"(1937). Washington's duskily refined gorgeousness scared Hollywood bosses even as it tempted them; she took the hint and went back to New York.

...minutes, he moved from Judy Garland’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” all the way to the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, capturing all the major details on the way. His ability to mimic the Munchkins and the Lollipop Guild perhaps doesn’t make for high art, but is a shining instance of his ability to conjure vast cohesive soundscapes using only his voice. During this performance, you could only marvel at the energy and manic zeal that goes into evoking and faithfully capturing the spirit of the original...
