She was extremely lovely and has that classic 1950's look about her! I was so happy to meet her when she hosted SNL. Still a charming and beautiful woman!

I actually saw Betty in THE KING AND I many, many years ago at the Westbury Music Fair. Believe it or not, Alan Ludden was the King.

Strange but true, Dollypop. Apparently the summer-stock tour included Westbury and the St. Louis Muny Theater.

It was 1963.

I'm reminded of this funny line from THE GOLDEN GIRLS:

Rose: "I haven't had such bad advice since my drama teacher told me I'd be perfect for the lead in THE KING AND I. So stupid here shaves her head and doesn't get the part." :-P
