- Peggy Wood, star of TV's "Mama" and an Oscar nominee for her performance as the Mother Abbess in "The Sound of Music," discusses her long career in this rare TV interview from 1966. Wood began as a musical comedy star, in such shows as the original 1917 production of "Maytime," Jerome Kern's "The Cat and the Fiddle," and Noel Coward's "Bittersweet" and "Operette". She also starred in the first Broadway production of Coward's "Blithe Spirit". For a wonderful dramatic performance by Wood, check out: • Peggy Wood--Saturday E...

I love these interviews with the old-school grand dames of theater and film. Such elegance and class, and in most cases such warm-hearted graciousness. And I adore their enunciation! (And in this case, she fields Griffin's clumsy, unprepared questions with a regal wit that he really doesn't deserve.)
What a Lady! Lovely Peggy Wood elegantly destroyed young, and aggravating Merv Griffin in this clip! After having presented her an award for her movie performance, he casually admitted to never having even seen her performance in Sound of Music! What a Putz! Not to worry; Ms. Wood put his lights out with her withering, yet charming comebacks! Thanks so much for posting this! I remember her almost as much as I do my real “Mama!”

+varadero1839 He also didn't seem to give much attention to her receiving an Oscar nomination. It should have prompted audience applause.
+Alan Eichler I agree! He was around 40 then, though looking younger. All things considered, he did feature other amazing artists over the years. I think it took him a while to calm down and show respect for his invited guests. I'm just saddened that he preferred "grand-standing" than to have given Ms. Wood the respect she deserved.
+varadero1839 I agree, but I must say that at times it seems like he's deliberately playing "stooge" to egg her on as if it was a pre-discussed routine.
Putz is the perfect word for him.
Wonderful performance. For ever. In The Sound of Music. Spiritual, climbing every mountain. For every religion, faith and spirituality
Superb actress Miss Peggy Wood !!!!!!. Her performance in the Sound of Music was AWESOME, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Very smart answers with Merv, also he was very funny !!!!
I miss Merv Griffin, he had a friendly and endearing quality that put his guests at ease even when he did not know a thing about their career or interests. Peggy Wood was sensational.
❤❤❤❤❤Amazing Wonderful Great Fantastic work 👏 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow what a character, her stage debut was now 100 years ago! So many actors/actresses from that era had a style that is almost totally absent with today's lot though fortunately there are still some notable exceptions .
Check out this great dramatic performance: ruclips.net/video/ou_JOj3A1CI/видео.html
She was offered the part of the Abbess in the broadway show, but turned it down because she hadn't sung for decades. Her voice was dubbed for the movie.
Wow, she looks lovely out of a wimple! Nice to see a different side to Peggy Wood.
She was beautiful through and through all her life. One of my favorite childhood memories had to do with our family's devotion to watching Peggy Wood as Mama every Friday night for nine or ten years. I still miss that show. Others in the cast were fine, but it was PEGGY WOOD who bought all the warmth, wisdom, occasional poignancy and love of life to the series. It's surprising to learn from this clip that she had an acerbic side, but it was employed with characteristic grace, charm and good humor. She and my mother went to the same high school in Brooklyn, Bay Ridge High, which was preserved for "girls of good character and special promise" way back then. Can you imagine that today?
She was delightful. They were going to have Jeanette Macdonald play the role but at the time she was too ill.
Loved Peggy Wood!
Superb Miss Wood 👍👍👍💪👏👏👏
I wish I could give this clip more than just one "thumbs up". Peggy Wood is hilarious! It's too bad that her brilliant turn in THE SOUND OF MUSIC didn't lead to more movie roles after that. I wonder if there was ever any discussion about Ms. Wood doing her own singing in the movie. I know she was dubbed and in this interview Wood says that she "gave up singing".
+Star Sky Yes, she was dubbed in "Sound of Music," but sang on Broadway and in London from 1917 into the early 1940's in such shows as the original "Maytime," "The Cat and the Fiddle" "and Noel Coward's Bittersweet" and "Operette".
Dubbed with who? She is credited as
singing on the soundtrack.
@@kenj280 same thing im asking for years now,,
@@kenj280 she was dubbed by Margery McKay.
@@kenj280 She was dubbed by Marjory McKay.
Griffin is funny to himself. Ms Wood deserved better.
I agree, Griffin needed to shut up and listen to her.
@@scootergreen3 YOU said it better than I did Michael. Bette Davis adored her.
@@MrQbenDanny Thank you MrQbenDanny! By the way I loved Bette Davis.
Much much better than Maggie Smith
Just watched her in the story of Ruth, she was marvellous
Brilliant...she ripped him a new one. LOL
Oh Merv
Peggy Wood politely put him in his place
She's a prime example of the reason why I prefer older girls.
Alan Elcher Peggy was a great actress ,,,dont know if you knew in the sound of music it wasn't Peggy Wood singing. By the time the film was made she was somewhat too old and they used another singer to dub the song. You were hearing Margery Mckay in the film
Margery mckay!!so she was singing,,thank you very much
@@kithurasmith9517 She was the wife of the rehearsal pianist on the film. She did a great job. She also sang at the Seattle Opera.
Griffin needed to shut up and listen to her.
Boy, Griffin sure screwed THAT one up, didn't he?
Young Merv, so cute.
Peggy is a darling. Merv: asshole.
What a complete tool he is in this interview. Really, he couldn't have bothered to have someone do a little more research since they were handing her this award? He couldn't have been bothered to see the movie or pretend he had after a year in release? Everyone in the business knew she didn't do her own singing.
Merv. Uninformed as usual.
Merv Griffin... was so obviously gay.... that it defies description. Like, Charles Nelson Riley gay.
His love of divas, and old grand dames... was fawning... if not a bit embarrassing, during interviews.
But for all that he knew f**k all about her career...embarrasing
