Low blow. I felt awful, as did many fans of her early movies, when she was reduced to doing those demeaning commercials. I don't know whether she needed the money or what, but my heart went out to her.

She and Van Johnson essentially kept the home front positive and optimistic during WWII when I was a kid. Their roles were corny and silly by today's standards -- which says a lot about today's standards IMO.

I met her when I did a luncheon interview with her friend Carolyn Jones at Jones's (Aaron Spelling's) home. It was for Jones's debut as Morticia Addams in "The Addams Family." June Allyson was the gracious hostess for the event and I was able to tell her how much I'd enjoyed her roles over the years.
