Buzzi attendedStonington High School,where she was head cheerleader.[8]At 17, she enrolled at thePasadena PlayhouseCollege of Theatre Arts, from which she graduated with honors in June 1957.[9]
Career
editEarly successes
editBefore graduation from college, Buzzi was already a working actress with a union card in musical and comedy revues. Her first job in show business was at 19, traveling with singerRudy Valleein a live musical and comedy act during her summer break from college; it allowed her to graduate with anActors' Equity Associationunion card. She moved to New York City after graduation and was hired immediately for a lead role in an off-Broadway musical revue, the first of 19 in which she performed around the East Coast. She worked alongside other young performers just beginning their careers at the time, includingBarbra Streisand,Joan Rivers,Dom DeLuise,Bernadette Peters,andCarol Burnett.She performed in New York musical variety shows, and she made numerous television commercials, some of which won national awards including theClio Award.[10]She performed inBabes in the Wooda 1964Off-Broadwaymusical adaptation ofA Midsummer Night's Dream.
Her first national recognition on television came onThe Garry Moore Showin 1964,[10]just afterCarol Burnettwas replaced byDorothy Loudonon the series. She performed as "Shakundala the Silent", assistant to a bumbling magician, her comedy partner,Dom DeLuise,who played "Dominic the Great". Buzzi was a member of the regular repertory company on theCBSvariety showThe Entertainers(1964–65). In 1966–67, she appeared inSweet CharitywithBob Fosse's wifeGwen Verdonin the original cast. She had several small roles, including "the Singing Fairy".[citation needed]

Her most famous character was "spinster" Gladys Ormphby, clad in drab brown with herbun hairdocovered by a visible backwards hair net,[8]knotted in the middle of her forehead. Buzzi first used this look when she played Agnes Gooch in a school production ofAuntie Mame.In most sketches, she used her purse as a weapon, with which she would flail away vigorously at anyone who incurred her wrath. She most often was the unwilling object of the advances ofArte Johnson's "dirty old man" character Tyrone F. Horneigh. NBC collectively called these two charactersThe Nitwitswhen they went to animation in the mid-1970s as part of the seriesBaggy Pants and the Nitwits.Buzzi and Johnson both voiced their respective roles in the cartoon.
Buzzi performed[12]as Gladys in many of theDean MartinCelebrity Roastsfrom theMGM Grand HotelinLas Vegas,ranting about notable roastees includingMuhammad Ali,Frank Sinatra,andLucille Ball.In each case, Gladys pugnaciously attacked the honoree with her purse, and she would also hit Martin when he made disparaging remarks about her looks and her romantic prospects.
