Agnes Gooch: "Speedo won't let anyone out who can't do at least 180 words a minute. I'm over 200!"

Vera Charles: "No, you're not!"

 

 

Agnes Gooch: "Well, I think I'll just fix myself a Dr. Pepper!"

 

 

Agnes Gooch: "Spirits do the most horrible things to me! I'm not the same person!"

Wigged Out

 

Four years ago, Miss Ann Miller's estate auctioned off four of her wigs from her stint as Mame -- three from Max Factor, and one from "Sassy Wigs." The fact that we missed this historic auction actually has us close to tears.

Yes, we could have owned one of Ann Miller's Sassy Wigs!

Yes, Virginia...
