I remember on Johnny Carson when Dom Deluise was talking about how he didn’t know that Burt had a new paramour. He rang the doorbell and Loni answered the door when he was expecting Sally and he said,”Salllllll...Loni!!!!!”
Ah, so my brain’s hard drive hasn’t malfunctioned. Thanks for confirming.
A good friend of mine and her husband were at Burt’s house and she said Loni was quite tiny. The story is that Burt was playing a joke on Don Deluise and he got my friend’s husband involved. It was quite funny - and a bit complicated. I wish I could remember the details. I do remember that when Burt met my friend he grabbed her and bent her over backwards and gave her a big kiss.
Those were the days my friend.....
