Ethel Merman, "The Grande Dame": Broadway Legends

This installment of the "Broadway Legends" quiz series brings you the life and Broadway career of Ethel Merman, who was often called "the grande dame of the Broadway stage." Some consider Ethel to be nothing less than the personification of 20th century Broadway musical theatre. In any event, there is no denying Ethel's dedication to her craft. Ethel also made 14 movies, appeared on television numerous times, and recorded popular songs, but this quiz doesn't cover those aspects of her professional life.
The photograph accompanying this quiz shows a young Ethel Merman. Fittingly, when Ethel died in 1984, she was cremated and her ashes were spread along Broadway.
