We are losing too many of the older actors and actresses...too many. I just want them to live forever. It was their films that brought joy to your life and were not filled with garbage, violence, profanity, nudity...nothing like it is today. Edie was such a lady and brought her talents to the screen with ease and grace.

I knew Kippie when we were both kids riding our horses in Griffith Park's Cricket Field area. Johnny Crawford and his brother Bobby, Pam Powell, daughter of Dick Powell and June Allyson were also contemporaries there. The good old days.
Loved her in Mad World! | 7:13 a.m. Oct. 17, 2008
I loved her as a foil to Sid Caesar in "It's a Mad Mad Mad World!"... I came to know her also on the old Bernstein "Wonderful Town" album when I was doing a community theater production of that show many, many years ago! She will be missed!!!
