Mae West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, playwright, screenwriter and sex symbol.
Known for her bawdy double entendres, West made a name for herself in Vaudeville and on the stage in New York before moving to Hollywood to become a comedienne, actress and writer in the motion picture industry. One of the more controversial movie stars of her day, West encountered many problems including censorship.
From 1965 to 1996, Erma Bombeck wrote over 4,000 newspaper columns chronicling the ordinary life of a midwestern suburban housewife with broad, and sometimes eloquent, humor.
By the 1970s, her columns were read, twice weekly, by thirty million readers of 900 newspapers of the U.S. and Canada. She was funny - very, very funny.
She wrote lots of books.
Here are 76 of her most quotable quotes:
Mary Tyler Moore (born December 29, 1936) is an American actress, primarily known for her roles in television sitcoms.
Moore is best known for The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977), in which she starred as Mary Richards, a 30-something single woman who worked as a local news producer in Minneapolis, and for her earlier role as Laura Petrie (Dick Van Dyke's wife) on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966).
When you’re not from the southern United States, for some reason there’s something inherently funny (not to mention charming!), about a Southern drawl - and amazing comedienne Jeanne Robertson makes the most of that something.
What’s more, she’s tall (6 foot 2 inches or 188 cm depending on how you measure things), she’s gorgeous, she’s warm, engaging, clever and gracious. An amazing woman after my own heart.
Even better? She’s got hair just like mine! Same cut, same colour, same “au naturel.” Seems we were destined to meet one day. If not in person, then surely online…
