"MITZI GAYNOR" A STAR WITH A LOT OF STAR POWER TO SHARE

Star-spangled
and sequined, super star Mitzi Gaynor is still going strong on stage
and does she have some sensational stories to share.  Funny and
entertaining, she will grace the Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts
on the campus of Sacred Heart University on Sunday, October 27 at 3
p.m. with her 150 watt smile and take the audience on a tour of her show
business career.

Mitzi Gaynor was born 82 years ago in Chicago
with the royal appellation of Francesca Marlene de Czanyl von Gerber and
by the age of 13 she was singing and dancing with the Los Angeles Civic
Light Opera Company.  By 17, she had signed a seven year contract with
Twentieth Century Fox.

As a bright-eyed beauty, she starred in
dozens of musicals and comedies, most notably in "South Pacific" where
she washed that man right out of her hair over and over again.  Her
appearance on the 39th Academy Awards stopped the show when she sang and
danced her way as "Georgy Girl."  She has always maintained that
dancing, singing and smiling all at the same time, in heels, was the
hardest achievement she did...and backwards no less!

Her
beautiful famous long legs are still kicking up a storm in her acclaimed
one woman show in "Mitzi...Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins"
that has been touring from coast to coast. It has been called
"sensational" by Liz Smith, "Terrific" by Regis Philbin, "Fabulous" by
Clive Davis and "Brassy, bold and bigger than life" by Stage Buzz.com.

Leading
men in her life include such greats as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra,
Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly.  When the Golden Age of movie musicals
faded, Mitzi perfected a stage act in Las Vegas.  Still claiming "Show
business is my life," she will surely have wonderful tales to tell next
Sunday afternoon, as she chats with Jerry Goehring, Executive Director
of The Edgerton Center. Inaugurating the 2013-2014 American Legends
Series, Miss Gaynor will speak and discuss the video clips from her long
and varied career.  Her triple-threat talents will clearly be on
display.

For tickets ($25, seniors $15, students $10), call The
Edgerton Center (exit 47 off the Merritt) at Sacred Heart University at
203-371-7908 or online at www.EdgertonCenter.org.

Come
meet Mitzi Gaynor, one of the top singing and dancing stars of all
time, as she reminisces about her storied and star-studded career.  And
if you happen to have an extra $5.5 million, she'd love to sell you her
Beverly Hills mansion that is currently sporting a "For Sale" sign.
