Joe, do you have recent photograph of the lovely Patricia Morison? I remember seeing one picture of her a few years ago (2005 or 2006), and she looked stunningly youthful, truly out-of-this-world.

FESS PARKER (1924 - 2010) RIP

Whenever an icon from my own past dies, I think "My lost saints." This wonderful photo made me think of these lines by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (it's from the "How Do I Love Thee?" poem):

. . . I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seem to love
With my lost saints . . .

Mongo,

I always found Phyllis Newman to be so attractive in such a warm, fresh way, similar in some extent to Marlo Thomas & Paula Prentiss; her eyes in particular were always so engaging, and really served to amp-up the wattage of that smile!

[jdb1]

Newman was a significant presence in the 60s and 70s in the New York theater and talk show scenes (in the days when talk shows emanated from NYC). I always found her less mannered and show-offy than Thomas, and much less neurotic than Prentiss (whose shtick seemed to be how many nervous breakdowns a year she had).

Since she was the wife of actor/writer/lyricist Adolph Green (of Comden and Green), you just knew Newman had to be one sharp cookie.

Mongo:

Is that Renee Taylor the same Renee Taylor that was mentioned every week at the start of Jackie Gleasons' show as starring 'The Renee Taylor Dancers' ? I never heard of her other than that if it is the same lady.

Anne, that was the June Taylor dancers. Renee Taylor played the zany mother of "The Nanny" on TV.
