I sure do. Funny thing is I remember her more from game shows - mostly To Tell The truth - but she was in Mame (both Broadway and movie) as Agnes Gooch; won a Tony and was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress. She had one of those voices that stands out. Did you know she was a guest host on The Tonight Show when Jack Parr starred?

I think of her as one of those great supporting actresses like Vivian Vance - a terrific second banana.
