Comedian and game show star Mitzi McCall dies at 91
Mitzi McCall, the groundbreaking comedian, actress and half of the comedy duo McCall and Brill, died Thursday in Burbank. She was 93.
Born on September 9, 1930, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, her comedic talents were evident early in life, leading to a distinguished career that spanned more than seven decades. She emerged as a prominent voice in the male-dominated comedy world, paving the way for future generations of female comedians.
McCall's legacy is perhaps most enduringly marked by her work with her husband, actor and comedian Charlie Brill, as part of the comedy duo "McCall and Brill." The pair became television fixtures, appearing on numerous variety shows, including a memorable appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" during The Beatles' 1964 American debut—a moment that has since gone down in television history.
