Oh no, what a shame. RIP.

Who?

Some old hag. Since most of the folks here are old hags I assumed they would know her. I happen to have met her when I lived in NYC but I didn't really know who she was until afterwards.

I looked her up. She fits the category of 'recognize the face but don't remember the name'.

Somebody told me she used to do a lot of game shows in the 70's. IDK.

Hollywood Squares?

I guess. IDK. Before my time. Seems to me she may have done a commercial at one point for dentucream or some old people product I have seen. Apparently doing a screechy "Hello Dolly" was her trademark.

Something I saw in a brief reading about her.

jimmymccreedy called her talented. Maybe his opinion of talent means something different than mine.

How bitter you are to call a dead, 97 year old woman who never did you any harm, an old hag. You really need to lighten up.

I am not the one who needs to lighten up, Pearl Clutcher.

Back when the world had 12 TV channels, she may have been the cat's meow.

For her to be the cat's meow, it would have had to been 3 channels in black/white.

No, you are agitated to a point that you call a woman you don’t know anything about, by your own admission, an old hag, that’s pretty silly.

Yes, she was, why does that agitate you?
