Why is it every time a giant dies, the moronic media cite some minor aspect of their brilliant career. So it is with Elaine Stritch, a legendary singer and actress who has had achievement after achievement. Yet
HuffPost and I am sure many other news outlets will also have a comment as idiotic as this:
"A five-time Tony award nominee, who was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1995, Stritch was also a fixture in TV and movies and perhaps most recognized for her role as Colleen Donaghy, the mother of Alec Baldwin's character Jack Donaghy, on 30 Rock." 
Elaine Stritch is not most recognized for that sitcom role. Anyone who knows anything about the American theatre will know that Stritch had a long and distinguished career, starred in many Broadway musicals and straight plays, and was the subject of two successful documentaries. She also appeared in movies and sitcoms.
