I had the pleasure of meeting SMS l Anna and Mike, as they offered to help a non-profit organization I had founded. What you saw on TV was def who she was. They were both down to earth, funny and kind.

I was priveleged to meet Anna Pearce when I lived in Idaho. A friendly compassionate soul, who at the time had rescued two neglected little dachsund pups bringing her total of household canine members to 13. Rest in Peace Anna.

I love the Patty Duke Show!! She was a fabulous actress. At this time of year I love the Christmas movie she did called "A Season For Miracles." She did so much in the way of entertainment if you were to print her career out it would go on forever!

I like valley of the Dolls a lot (the book and the movie). however, she has said that it was a trash novel and the movie Director was very chauvinistic and abusive to the actresses during filming.

SallyAnn
I loved her and miss her. She was an inspiration to us all

Mary
Loved her. she was amazing as a child in The Miracle Worker.

Hoolie, Of all medical problems, an about to rupture appendix (or already ruptured one) seems to be really hard for doctor's to diagnose. My uncle finally went to the doctor with his "bad stomach ache" only to find that his appendix had ruptured 3 days ago! His doctor operated and did an incredible job of cleaning up the mess inside him and he got well! (He should have been dead already!)

what is up with all these actresses being bipolar?

UnpleasantSandwich1, mine was from ovarian cyst rupturing. I'd been to the Dr. just the week before and he just told me I was starting peri-menopause and to use a hot water bottle and ibuprofen. 😕

penawareof, I think you mean a mill-stone millstone. A millstone is something used to grind wheat and is quite heavy. A milestone is a marker along a road indicating where you are along in your travels.
