I don't remember her but what a prolific actress. 1,749 episodes of As The World Turns after 20 years of bit parts.

I don't remember her but my wife might (she followed one or two of the soaps in the early 80's).  She nearly made it to 90, not too bad (Kathryn Hays, not my wife... Mrs. Staybrite still has quite a ways to go until 90).

His brand of humor was crude like Bob Saget’s, but it was refreshing that he didn’t care what the PC police thought of him. 

R.I.P.

He was one of a kind.  Oh man, his stand up was beyond raunchy, but still a barrel of laughs.  

This makes 4 of my favorite classic comics gone since 'rona showed up.  (Norm MacDonald, Louis Anderson, Bob Saget and now Gilbert Gottfried.)

I agree. 

I actually didn’t mind his infamous potty mouth routine… I have a “no holds barred” sense of humor. His trademark voice and timing was hilarious!

Norm MacDonald was another huge loss!

RIP Neal.

[oldschooldoom]

I knew she had health problems for decades. So sad that she could no longer mentally endure. I actually saw the mother/daughter duo perform on a 4th of July celebration in our town in the late 80's. She was a class act. Her daughter not so much.
