RIP...I honestly thought she died about 20 years ago.

I regret to say I did too. I remember watching her as a kid back in the 1970's and early 1980's, she seemed to always be on all the Bob Hope Specials and other comedy shows of that day. But she was old even then (to a kid at least). I figured she had been dead for years.

Red Skelton died in 1997. His TV show had gone off the air and he had basically retired from showbiz in the early 1970's. In 1994 Gallup did a survey and found that 83% of Americans thought he had been dead for years.
