I didn't realize anyone was left outside of Ron Howard.

Am glad she found a strong following after her appearances and kept active. So often you had recurring characters like hers who gave the show an added bonus for tuning in.

Condolences to her family and thank you for your USO work and contribution to the entertainment world.
