‘Mister Roberts’ role will be the film buff memory.
I remember seeing her face in The Saturday Evening Post, Life, Look, Readers Digest.
I was in love with her, way back around '62, '63.
A beautiful woman.
She and the others were great on that show. RIP Betsy and thanks for some wonderful memories.
Then Betsy is Czech or Slovak, Euther way, she looked like Kim Novak.
A female Orson Bean!
Saw her in “South Pacific” as Ensign Nellie Forbush in Miami’s Coconut Grove Playhouse when I was about 12 (1962). I think Jules Munshin was Emile DeBeque.
Nice memory.
RIP Betsy Palmer.
I think she was on Johnny Carson. She had the kind of nice personality that made me feel good.
Uhhhh .... SPOILER!
