Gabe Dell appears as the count in Steve Allen & Jayne Meadows show at the Flamingo, March, 1961.
More on this Las Vegas engagement:
During that first appearance in Las Vegas, Meadows admitted she sang only a medley with Allen — “It was all fashion,” Meadows said. — but then in the “Bride of Frankenstein” number, she did a wild comedy sketch, a takeoff of musicals with Dell and the three coffins on the stage.
“We were so different,” Meadows said. “People told me when the curtain went up and they saw those coffins, they thought, ‘What is this?’ Instead of naked ladies, they see these three coffins. But it was a very funny sketch. We had done it originally on television, and they had it redone for Las Vegas.”
