Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Faye Emerson was a panelist on one of the shows. Which one? I’ve Got a Secret? Perhaps before Betsy Palmer came along? I remember those dresses…

Now, wolf, you know every now and then there is a genetic mutation in us Southerners and a few become smart enough to be admitted to Yankee Land schools.

I know. Robert E. Lee graduated second in his class at West Point (1836, I believe).

Nobody knew who three of the last four people I mentioned were?
:sigh:
Dr. Hub Pruett pitched for the Browns; he made his fame (and a lot of baseball money, to pay for his medical education) by striking out Babe Ruth.
Lucy Ware Webb was the wife of President Rutherford B. Hayes. (I think Loretta Lynn’s birth name is similar.)
Sir Frederick Gas was a member of Spike Jones’ orchestra. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nobody guessed these…

  1. Lya Graf was a “little person” in the 30s. During an interview J. Pierpont Morgan gave to the press, a newsman dropped Ms. Graf onto Morgan’s lap. This had severe ramifications, years later: Morgan had refused to grant a loan to Hitler. Ms. Graf had returned to Germany–and she was Jewish. Hitler saw the photo. You can guess the rest. :frowning:
  2. Liz Renay was the girlfriend of mobster Mickey Cohen–and she went to jail because she wouldn’t squeal on him.
  3. Willis Van Devanter was a Supreme Court Justice in the 30s; one of few people in high government positions, from Wyoming.
