Never heard of her.

I had no idea. This is so tragic.

Her son looks just like her. I know from the Motown gossip thread that she had to take a job as a secretary at Motown…how sad for her and her family. I wonder if Diane will reach out to Cindy.

it's gone from bad to worse

Yeah, but was she “kidnapped” kidnapped?

Don't bother trying.

Of course it just had to be some old starfucker queen.

Shindy Birdshong should let Michael Feinshtein do her finanshesh. He’sh terrific.

I've read that Birdsong was in poor health but I thought she had dementia. I read that somewhere years ago. This article mentions poor health (including multiple strokes) but not nothing about memory issues.

I don't know her.

ANTHONY gets caught helping the ladies and pretends to be a woman camper.

CONNIE: What's this camper's name?

ANTHONY: (in a high-pitched voice) Cindy.

CONNIE: Cindy what?

ANTHONY: Cindy Birdsong.

CONNIE: Birdsong -- I don't remember that name. (to other leader) Check your list.

ANTHONY: I was late. I got on the bus at the last minute.

CONNIE: Who let you on?

ANTHONY: I don't know. Some white girl.

CONNIE: Where's your application?

ANTHONY: I turned it in.

CONNIE: To who?

ANTHONY: Some white girl.

Let Patti LaBelle reach out. She can bring Cindy a buttermilk pie.

I'd rather hear from Miss Warwick, myself.

Paging Miss Warwick!
