My friend Elizabeth sent this to me. I hadn't thought about The Fruitcake Lady in a long time. She recently passed away.
From Wikipedia article:
Marie Rudisill died in Hudson, Florida on November 3, 2006, at the age of 95, just before the publication date of her latest book, Ask the Fruitcake Lady: Everything You Would Already Know If You Had Any Sense, on November 7. The November 8, 2006 broadcast of the Tonight Show included a tribute composed of highlights from her segments on the show, including one in which she cooked with (and was hugged and kissed on the cheek by) Tom Cruise.

Jen - I know!! Hahahahaha!!!!
I just adored that old lady. What a total hoot she was. Jay Leno had a long piece featuring her best "work" shortly after she passed, and it was just hysterical.
I saw the book at B&N the other day. Didn't know she was gone. Won't it be great when we're old enough to stop pretending to be nice to people?
OMG! I honestly had never seen her before, but DAMN is she hilarious.
Awesome clip. I'm heading over to YouTube right now to find some more.
What a gem she was. I loved her answer to the woman who asked shouldn't she stop using bad language. Hell no! Love it!
Serena Joy - She is my new role model.
Laura - Hell, I'm old enough now. I think I'm going to go for it.
Grimm - My work here is done.
Roxan - I know! Hahahahah!
