Rose Marie RIP
 Rose Marie August 15, 1923 – December 28, 2017 American Actress and Singer |
In all it's anachronistic black and white censor phobic wonder it was a picture of comedy and propriety suitable for everyone in the family for it's entire run.
One of the characters was Sally Rogers, a television comedy writer tough on the outside tender on the inside woman working a man's world in a time when that was quite a feat in and of itself.
I remember the wise cracks, the endless jokes, and the ubiquitous one liners but there was a poignance to that aspect of her life involving love that was both tender and touching amid that sea of comedy.
Rose Marie played that part of Sally Rogers and I've always remembered her for that role.
Born Rose Marie Mazzetta she was a successful actress and singer beginning in her childhood through well into adult life she was a pillar of that thing I personally knew as entertainment.
I am sorry to say that she passed Thursday in Van Nuys, California at the age of 94.
Thanks for the memories and rest in peace.
