    Storyline

    Edit
    What does it mean to be a performing artist - first, last and always? Broadway legend Elaine Stritch can answer that. At 87, Stritch is still here, dominating the stage in her one woman cabaret act, torturing Alec Baldwin on 30ROCK, giving us her take on aging, her struggle with alcohol and diabetes, and the fear of leaving the follow spot behind. In stolen moments from her corner room at the Carlyle, and on breaks from her tour and work, candid reflections about her life are punctuated with rare archival footage, words from friends (Hal Prince, George C. Wolfe, Nathan Lane, Cherry Jones and John Turturro) and photographs from her personal collection. By turns bold, hilarious and achingly poignant, the journey connects Stritch's present to her past, and an inspiring portrait of a one-of-a-kind survivor emerges. —Isotope Films

      Elaine Stritch: When the doctor called me and told me he had cancer... I burst into a flood of tears... That's the way I cried when John died. And then I cried no more!... But I said, "I've got to, I gotta, gotta get going and see what I can find now," 'cause I loved being married, and I loved being in love, and I loved all that. So where am I gonna find that again? And I never did. I never did.

    When You Still Want More of Elaine Stritch!
    Elaine Stritch was always a welcome addition on any television series. This documentary chronicled the last year of her performing career. She was pushing it until her late eighties. She talks candidly and honestly about her only marriage to John Bay and other issues like diabetes and alcoholism. Elaine Stritch has had a colorful and wonderful life onstage and offstage. She passed away shortly after the documentary was done. She had bought a condo in Birmingham, Michigan near her family.
