Search - Edie Adams :: The Edie Adams Christmas Album (Featuring Ernie Kovacs - 1952)

Edie Adams was a perfect portrait of the consummate entertainer. She did it all from
singing opera to performing in guest spots on well-loved television shows like Bosom Buddies, Designing Women, and
Fantasy Island. She was named Miss New York Television and Miss U.S. Television, and she was the star of the
Why-don t-ya-pick-one-up-and-smoke-it-sometime Muriel Cigar ads from the 60s through the 70s. Her ABC
music/variety TV show Here s Edie garnered four Emmy nominations, and she was a Broadway star, earning two
Donaldson Awards (Wonderful Town) and a Tony Award (Li l Abner). Edie not only starred with Ernie Kovacs across
multiple television shows on the CBS, NBC, and DuMont networks, she even married him! You may have also seen
her in feature films, such as The Apartment, It s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and Lover Come Back, among many,
many more. Edie headlined nightclubs in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Lake Tahoe, and
recorded albums for MGM, Columbia, and Decca.
If you think Edie Adams could do anything, you re right. But one thing that never appeared on her superhuman
and extraordinarily impressive resume is a holiday album . . . until now. In association with Ediad Productions, Inc.,
Omnivore Recordings has pulled together all of Edie Adams surviving early-to-mid- 50s holiday recordings from the
Kovacs Unlimited television show. The recordings are sourced from acetates made from rare kinescopes of the show,
which Ms. Adams had the foresight to archive before they were lost or destroyed! Now, with personal liner notes by
Edie s son, Josh Mills, recalling the star-studded Hollywood holidays of his youth, we are able to enjoy, for the first
time, this beautiful seasonal album by Edie Adams. A great surprise for Santa to put under the tree this year!
