It is almost as unheard of to be sentimental in today's world as it is for a teen-ager to stand when an adult walks into the room.

Almost as uncommon as the hyphenated spelling of "teen-ager."

I'm just glad that the other two books didn't follow the Taylor in having rather more bosom-revealing photos on the back.

I seem to recall a single beauty mark on Liz, now I gotta read the bio to see how she either generated a matching mole on the other side of her face!

Virginia Graham used to have a talk show in the late sixties/early seventies. I don't remember her looking so much like a drag queen, though. Jeez, those eyebrows remind me of Divine.

I feel very loutish that I've never heard of Virginia Graham, television's brightest personality.
