I know Rose from the Dick Van Dyke show. She was very good. RIP ---

> [@Wendell\_Wagner](#): > > I saw the documentary _Wait for Your Laugh_, mentioned by Prof. Pepperwinkle in post #4, at the Angelica Pop-Up Movie Theater in Washington D.C. on December 2nd. After the show, they did an interview by telephone with her. So less than four weeks before her death she was still doing interviews and just a few hours before her death she was tweeting. They did a showing of the documentary about a month ago just down the street in Encino, CA. She attended in person, as her home was about 3 miles away. ---

She was in “International House” (1933) with W.C. Fields! The plot involves television and helicopters! ---

Think about this: born in 1923, doing Vaudeville in 1926, a radio _star_ in 1928. Records, movies, TV. Still doing Twitter in 2017, almost to 2018. Nobody can top that. ---

Given how old she looked, I’m surprised she made it past the 60’s, 70’s. Good for her. Besides DVD, I’ll always remember her guest appearances on the Monkees. ---

RIP, Rose Marie. ☹ I remember her appearance in that episode of _The Monkees_ too. Does anyone know the story behind the little bow in her hair? I read once that she said it had a meaning, but she didn’t want to say what it was. ---

I had heard this went back to her days as a child star, but all the references I find online say [she wouldn’t reveal the meaning of the bow because it was something very personal.](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/rose-maries-black-bow-now-in-the-smithsonian-1-180948846/) I don’t know if she ever wore it before the Dick Van Dyke show but that started in 1961 and her husband didn’t pass away until 1964. It could still be a tribute to him though. ---

Boy, she could really belt out a song as a little girl! Her only rival in this department was the great [Mitzi Green](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0338191/?ref_=tt_rv_t4), another New Yorker, who died way too young at age 49. So long, Sally, I’m sure you and Buddy are teamed up again and have the helmèd cherubim and sworded seraphim rolling in the aisles in Heaven. ---
