I liked your site

Howard Johnson MBEJun 6, 2010

I just adored her! A crush which has lasted 45 years since I first saw the 1953 version of Showboat in the mid sixties as a young lad. In fact I could well have been named after Howard Keel!

I loved her beautiful voice. I saw her when I was a small girl she was very impressive. The world has lost a truly great talent. Becky

I just heard the news...God rest your soul, Kathryn. What a lovely lady you were. Ms. Grayson`s picture with me is on my web site which is mariolanzaandfriends.com and I will soon be recording a show featuring Kathryn and Mario singing their songs with those great voices. Congratulations on this site which I have just found. Jim Thompson

Dear Ms. Grayson, first happy birthday,to a great lady to whom,I ejoyed, your beautiful voice,for great deal of my life,and still do,we almost met, in 1961, in Houston,when you were there, accidently walked into your booth at the shamrock hilton beauty solon, I was a model at the time and also modled my hair for the solon. I Had so admired you for so many years of my life, that when I walked in the room I seemed to have no voice, I`ve heard that can happen.I always regreted that I didnot say how much joy you brought to my life..Thank you,so much,

I just saw her grandaugher in NUNSENSE in Canoga Park CA, and her voice is fantasic, and does anyone know of she is Johnny Johnston`s grandaughter!

Karen PizzutoMay 17, 2009

I love Ms. Grayson. Never in my life have I ever seen such a talented singer and classic beauty and natural actress. I grew up listening and watching her. I had the privilege of knowing one of her family members who looks and sings like her. I am very fortunate that I was born in a era that has Ms Grayson. The generations from the 70`s and on don`t appreciate great artists. I miss you Ms. Grayson. My granddaughter through me will carry on listening too. Thank you!

RoseFeb 16, 2009

I really miss seeing her. I loved Show Boat. I grew up with her movies and she was beautiful. One of the greatest singers/actresses of all time.

Tom RazzJan 9, 2009

Just saw the classic musical Anchors Away with Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Kathryn Grayson.She`s one of the most beautiful and talented singers I`ve ever seen.
