I grew up with her.
Some of my earliest childhood memories were watching her on the Dick Van Dyke show, when married couples had to be depicted as sleeping in separate beds.
But my best memories were as a teenager, watching her with her own show, based in Minneapolis. The bard of the upper river remembers her too.
I mostly remember Ed Asner, who is a communist who supports North Korea as a worker’s paradise.
Strange I’m not finding anything on the web about him saying that.
He did, right there on the TV and everything.
Being forced to hear NPR at work, they are spinning her life as a pioneer of the feminist movement.
Her role on the Dick Van Dyke show was that she “had her say without making the man look stupid.” Of course this is ridiculous because, according to feminists, that time period was nothing but a time of white male patriarchy, so TV couldn’t have had liberated women’s roles. (Unless Laura Petrie was behaving like a normal, American woman, which was the case.)
And of course, this implies that the modern woman is only liberated when she makes men look stupid.
I hope they get Chuckles the Clown to read the eulogy.
In a green outfit that will disappear into the chroma-color background projection and a B&W checkered hat that will strobe and bleed…
Loved her.
Of course, all careers have their highs and lows:
