What ever happened to Rona Barrett? She was a star, used to be a big star...as they said in Sunset Boulevard?
35 years ago I was half my age and I could honestly say that I would not run for president. Ask me today. Come on make my day.
Thought she died
Yeah. Definite blast from the past. Household name big.
Did she pass away?
“35 years ago I was half my age and I could honestly say that I would not run for president. Ask me today. Come on make my day.”
Will you be running for president?
WIKI...
Rona Barrett (born Rona Burstein, October 8, 1936, New York City) is an American gossip columnist and businesswoman.
In 1991, she retired full-time to her ranch.
In 2009, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs, California, Walk of Stars was dedicated to her.
She currently runs the Rona Barrett Foundation, a non-profit organization in Santa Ynez, California, dedicated to the aid and support of senior citizens in need.
I have not seen a single former Trump employee say anything bad about him - and you know the beltway slime have been looking hard.
According to Wiki she is still kicking at 79 years of age.

Barack Obama, 1980: Salaam Aleikum. There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is His Prophet.
...and if they can’t find anything juicy, they’ll start making it up.
The pressure to find such a person must be enormous.
The person who finds a Trump employee who can tell a story that will end his candidacy is virtually guaranteed a lifetime of fame and fortune. That would be a "career get."
The fact that they have not - so far - been able to find this person is remarkable. Trump must really be a great guy to work for.
She now grows lavender. Thanks for the update, my FRiend.
That was then, this is now.
The world has changed greatly since 1980, or 1996, or even 2008.
The times call for the man, not the other way around.
I started watching it with the attitude of “just how is this relevant today”. I was wrong.
He says he would not run (back in 1980) because it’s a very mean life and that someone with very strong and unpopular views, which may be right, would not stand a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain and a big smile.
I hope this guy is not foretelling his own fate. But he does have very strong and unpopular views, that are right. Unpopular defined as being against the establishment and MSM propaganda machinery. And as far as opponents go, if it’s Hillary, she certainly has no great brain.
He’s matured into a lean mean fighting machine with massive public support, I think he’ll pull it off.
I am NOT the same person I was in 1980.
People change.

He really does look young in that video but sounds the same. He must’ve been around 34yo there.
