CAROL CHANNING: LARGER THAN LIFE

The first ever documentary film to capture the magic and vivacity of the 90-year-old icon – both onstage and off...past and present.  The film is both an intimate love story and a rarefied journey inside Broadway's most glamorous era.

Praise:

""Carol Channing: Larger Than Life" is a celebration and a lament -- a celebration of Channing's seven decades as musical comedy star, and a lament that there's really no one like her anymore, a performer who eclipsed most of the roles she played by force of personality, and defined the word "trouper."... Like its subject, "Carol Channing: Larger Than Life" is a class act." - John Anderson, VARIETY
