I had to check, Tuesday Weld is still alive at 71 years old. My brother used to love her in Dobie Gillis.

Oh, and Ann Margaret still alive at 73.

Ann-Margret is the sexiest woman who ever lived. Don’t even bother arguing with me about this.

I remember watching “They Died with Their Boots On” with Olivia de Havilland. Not sure I knew who she was at the time, but I was in love. Perhaps the acting combined with the looks I quipped to my wife “Your lucky she’s dead!”

My wife said “She’s still alive.” I was planning my trip to Paris or wherever. “Really! I could meet her!? She’s still alive!??!!!”

I see that she is still alive at the age of 98!

I wonder how these women manage to stay under the radar without the paparazzi photographing them.

I haven’t a. Clue what either looks like now.

Olivia de Havilland. Ann-Margret was (and is) delightfully Swedish.

“Nurse Dish” in MASH?

No, Lt. Dish was played by Karen Phillip.

I think she only played in two episodes. In the first, she was raffled off in a raffle that was rigged so that Father Mulcahy won. Incidentally, Mulcahy was played by George Morgan in that one episode before being replaced by William Christopher.

Breast cancer, sad. RIP.

She was also the mom in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”.

Always LOVED Ann Margrock.

NOBODY pulls sexy off like she does, without even trying.

Another redhead I always loved, but totally different appeal, was Maureen O'hara

You mentioned Elizabeth Montgomery.

Remember little Tabitha?

She grew up.

We liked "Tortilla Soup," too. Hector Elizondo was muy caliente.
