We didn't hear that she died until maybe six months after she was buried.

Also, I did not know she was married to Jim Dial from Murphy Brown.

She had no grits to kiss.

I loved Vera Louise Gorman

What kind of application is she? Do I download it or what?

What do you suppose Beth Howland was like? Did she shit at work? Was she sexually satisfied?

by Anonymousreply 5April 24, 2019 1:00 AM

I seriously doubt she shit. Too skinny.

by Anonymousreply 6April 24, 2019 1:01 AM

She shit and hogs ate her.

Vera was manic and somewhat delusional. I don’t know what the character would be diagnosed with, but she’d be on a bunch of meds if Alice was set in modern times.

I remember reading that Beth & her hubbie were raising lots of money for AIDS charities about a decade ago.

They both seem pro gay to me.

I wish Jim & the gang were coming back for another Murphy Brown season.

They could build on what the last short season started.

As for Beth, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about her.

How many celebs can you say that about?

Who's applying to be Beth Howland?

She was no Linda Lavin.

I heard she died after slipping on a box of scattered straws. Tragic accident.

She did a bunch of broadway. Do yourself a favor and watch her sing I'm not getting married from Company on YouTube. Its great

She applied herself and won a gay gold star in the 70s-creating both a canonical Sondheim character and a kooky sitcom character. They can keep filling out the application, but those are big shoes to fill. Not sure whose doin' the hiring.

I loved her! I remember her from Alice and other 70’s comedies.

Why was she in studio for a morning show in Lincoln, Nebraska?

by Anonymousreply 24April 24, 2019 2:27 AM

I just started watching Alice again after 30+ years. I laugh out loud so much ! What show can you say that about today ? Ive also been watching Soap again,still hilarious after all these years. The 70s had some shitty clothes,but some great tv shows.

Polly is 82 and, per something called mylife.com, living in NYC with a net worth of $50,000 to $99,000.

Is Polly kissing her lady friends grits ?

She was a cunt to Mary Richards twice.

She should the icon for the effort to ban plastic straws.

God I never realized how much Rachel Cory and Vera looked alike. Twins separated at birth.

by Anonymousreply 37April 24, 2019 11:05 PM

That interviewer at R22 has a load of awkward junket interviews here. I've seen a few and almost all interviewees look at her at least once with a "is she crazy?" Look on their face. The Bonnie Franklin one is a bit awkward.

I didn't realize she'd only been married to Kimbrough since 2002. She was married to Michael J. Pollard from 1961-69 according to her IBDB page.

Yes, but they had been together since the early 70s and had kids.

At least they didn’t pour boiling water on HER feet.

She used to be sad, used to be shy.

But she was never in MY light!
