JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS...

THE LATEST ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY COVER

SICK OF 'EM YET?

YES, IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY

I'M HAVING NO LUCK ZEROING IN ON THE IDENTITY OF THE MYSTERY LADY FROM "THE YELLOW CAB MAN." I DID FIND THIS BASICALLY USELESS STILL FROM THE MOVIE AND WE CAN SEE THAT THE OUTFIT IS THE SAME AS IT IS IN  MY WARDROBE SNAPSHOT.

WELL, WE CAN BARELY SEE IT.

IN THIS SHOT, SHE LOOKS LIKE RETA SHAW.

Blasto from MY Pasto

Back in February of last year, when I was working through my collection of MGM snapshots, I did a post that included this photo. Once the guesses were in, I surmised that this might be Madge Blake, but as I wrote back then, I wasn't very sure. Turns out I was right about my uncertainty. Just turned on the television, which was tuned to TCM (what else?). At that very moment, I saw this woman on the screen! Yes, I shrieked. The film was, "The Yellow Cab Man" starring Red Skelton. I zoomed to imdb.com to check out the cast and an answer still eludes me. It could be someone named Edith Leslie, she was credited as "Big Woman." I could find no photo of Edith online, though I haven't given it much effort.

Not to worry....

...there still is a Mouse in the house.

Today's Notable Obituary

Why didn't they just say, wherever she went, she left her mark?

I've got puppies AND company. Sorry.

Lest I lose my three readers.....

Had a maven over to size up the kids confirmation. 

They both passed. As we get get closer to having to make choice, we start humming and dust some furniture. Anything to avoid the elephant in the living room.

Betty Died

Don't be sad, this is a clipping from 1991. I just found it, buried under something. I'd clipped it all those years ago because I found it funny. "Betty dies" just one name, like it's Cher or Madonna. I mean, the world knew who Betty was, right?  And that photo of dear Betty; like the paps just rudely snapped her as she took a shit behind a tree.

And while I'm on this subject...

Just watched her hawking her new book 

with Joy Behar. How awful it must be to be inside her head.

The Kenos have been Manilowed

And I was always told that one must never refinish antiques.
