The ''Saturday Evening Post'' reported that Rodgers had burst into tears after a performance during the show's Philadelphia tryout, remarking, "I wish I was back in Tenderloin. It was a flop, but at least people were friendly."〔Mandelbaum, Ken. ''Not Since Carrie: Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops.'' Page 15. St. Martin's Griffin, 1991.〕 She served as a standby for Ethel Merman in the 1966 revival of ''Annie Get Your Gun''.〔 Rodgers made frequent appearances on television variety shows and starred with Art Carney in a Chevrolet 50th Anniversary special.〔(Eileen Rodgers Obituary at TheaterMania.com )〕
