Let's all raise a strong drink and take off our pants in honor of the one and only Elaine Stritch.
The 89-year-old Broadway legend died today in Birmingham, Michigan, according to media reports.
A native Detroiter with unabashed talent, humor, and a love of good booze, she gained new fame in her 80's for playing Alec Baldwin's mom on "30 Rock."
You only have to hear a snippet of that wry voice to picture her: the white pouf of hair, the bowler cap, the silk shirt over black stockings - and only black stockings.
