SHE DID IT ALL. From her Vaudeville stage debut at age three, Martha Raye went on to conquer literally every entertainment medium -- stage, screen, radio, television, records, night clubs, as well as countless performances for her beloved Armed Forces. For a lifetime of giving of herself, Martha Raye was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1993, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Academy Award in 1968, and was a Legend Nominee in the 1999 American Film Institute's "100 Years -- 100 Stars" program. Affectionately known as "Maggie," she was the subject of an A&E "Biography" segment in October 1999, which is available for purchase. This webpage was created to share items from my collection of Martha Raye memorabilia with her many fans. My collection is large but webspace is limited. Check back often as I feature such rare items as original publicity portraits, movie stills, magazine covers, record jackets, sheet music, as well as posters and lobby cards from the incredible 75-year career of Martha Raye.
