Rankin and Bass' "Mad Monster Party" we have enjoyed since we were a child... even had (other than Boris Karloff), one of my favorite performers since early childhood... Miss Phylis Diller....
ReplyDeletedid you know that her "trademark" laugh started out as a sound that she would often make when very nervous....
she transformed this nervous "habit" into one of the most memorable "Laughs" in entertainment history....
Rest in peace , dear Lady...
I did not know that about the laugh that's cool!
DeleteWe learned it from an interview with this dear Lady that we saw a while back...
