In the bio I just read, she said she didn't really want to do the Depends commercials, either - BUT her mother was having the problem at the time and asked her please to talk about the subject.
I felt better reading that and I hope you do, too.
Thanks for the info. That's still rather obscure. Of course, some of today's generation would say the same about Murray and Allyson.
Wow, I *did not know that.* (Tip of the hat to Johnny Carson.) Loved the show mucho, mucho.
Yes it is so sad. So many of our screen legends are gone.
Didn't realize how great it was to have a crush and not worry about his political views. Screen stars in the 40's, 50's kept their political opinions to themselves.
I loved her. One of my favorites.
What made me read the thread at the time was that I had *just seen* Smilin' Jack a few days ago on TV on an Andy Griffith/Mayberry re-run.
To have him come up twice in a week after not at all in 40 years was kind of surprising.
Your comment brings tears to my eyes.
Thanks.
Sorry, don't know. It was a googled image.
Jan Murray was actually a funny fellow. His career as a game show host (Treasure Hunt, Charge Account) didn't exactly do him justice. Earlier, he'd done a couple of turns on one of the last of the classic radio shows, Tallulah Bankhead's The Big Show, and he was marvelous.
it's been 2 weeks but you could include Eileen Barton of "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake" fame.
Well said.
I'm not surprised! Could you divorce those legs? Would you want to die knowing as long as you kept waking up every day, that body would be there?
"There is a great second hand book store there called Barts."
Darn it, it was closed the day I was there the last time I was in Ojai.
I love second hand book stores. They're magic. I think they make the books better.
I absolutely loved June Allyson! RIP, Junie.
I was just thinking about Esther Williams last night. KTVU-TV (Oakland) replayed an award-winning special on the World's Fair of 1939-40, held on man-made Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. This was 18-year-old Williams' debut as a swimming star alongside Olympic hero and Tarzan actor Johnny Weissmuller.
Williams is still alive and kicking too, and she sells beautiful pre-string swimwear on her website.
I'm so sad to hear this news. My Dad had a big crush on June Allyson.
(But my Mom was MUCH prettier than June, so he did good. :)
