Today is the birthday of both him and her.

(She's 65, he's dead (but would have been 80), and then there's this.)

I got Mel from "Alice." Who's the woman?

Ann Romano from "One Day at a Time"--one of TVs first huffy, hands-on-hips, "Call me Ms.!" feminists. In the world of the show, both Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli came out of her vagina.

She used to be Wowza!

Of course, so was Valerie Bertinelli.

But hey, nothing on Kelly Preston's son dying? All you guys do is talk about that guy's son - what about her son?

Aah, thanks for clearing that up. She had a powerful vagina, indeed. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Sadly, Tayback never did seize the opportunity to kiss those grits while he had the chance. Let this be a lesson to us all.

When I saw "and then there's this" I clicked expecting Maude Findlay. Dammit.

What about 1950's sitcoms? Barbara Billingsley from Leave it to Beaver turned 93-years-old just before Christmas. If she dies I hear the whole world will end and the fourth dimension will collapse in upon itself.

Had jury duty with "her" in 1998. "She" caused a mistrial on a spousal abuse case by bringing up how she "still had faith in the justice system in spite of that O J trial" during her voir dire.

Valleri Bertinelli was my first TV crush.

Seek out "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) by Scorcese if you want to see it right.
