I agree that she was a very funny lady. I read that she was the aunt of Shelley Fabares, something that had never occurred to me.
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy Couldn't place her so I looked her up. Of Course! Donna Reed's daughter! Can't say I like her current hair color choices, but to each his own. It was nice to see her as I had not thought about her in forever.
