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.
Miss Puss! HAHAHAHAAAAA!
ReplyDeleteJen - I know!! Hahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteOMG! I honestly had never seen her before, but DAMN is she hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAwesome 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!
ReplyDeleteSerena Joy - She is my new role model.
ReplyDeleteLaura - 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!
