Can she "phone a dead friend"?

[Flash Bazbeaux]

I first heard that out of the potty mouth of Silvia Sydney, circa 1980. It was going to be Teddy’s campaign slogan.

For 45 years, Sylvia Sidney (1930-1998) applied lipstick, butterfly lashes, a cascading hairpiece, stepped into a flaming sequined gown and flounced into the spotlight. Born to Jewish immigrants during the Great Depression, at sixteen years Sidney Sushman declared himself Sylvia Sidney. “Her” story spans a 50 year history of gay life in post World War II Boston. Sylvia is a survivor, someone who has lived through the repression of the ‘50s, the euphoria of the ‘60s, the bacchanalia of the ‘70s, and the tragedies of the ‘80s and ‘90s. A self-proclaimed raconteur, Sylvia kept an active schedule performing in gay bars throughout New England.
