When I was a kid in Webster Groves MO Phyllis and her husband lived one street over from us.
They would let me and my sister and a few other neighborhood kids come swim in their pool...
I really didn’t realize she was famous... just someone nice who lived in the neighborhood.
Her husband would sit on the screened in back porch and do lifeguard duty.
The maid would bring out cookies and whatnot.
Webster Groves seems an odd place for someone to live whose livelihood was on the west coast but she did, at least for a few years.

When I was young I met her in the 70’s. She was a beautiful woman.
Wow, how cool. Thanks for sharing that.
