Lucille shows off her steal of a fur coat. Nice tire mark!
Doris, Ida and Lucille (left to right) discuss Selma's impending nuptials.
The widows visit the boys.
Lucille extolls the virtues of playing the field.
Sam the playboy butcher makes his move.
Lucille's in for a disappointment.
To dance or not to dance?
Sam brings a date (Mildred) to the carpool.
"So I see you girls are bridesmaids this time!"
"Someone stole the light switch!"
Party favors?
Where's the style? Where's the grace?
Yeah, right. Like we threw wine and milk on borrowed evening gowns.
We
sneaked each actress off stage for a costume change before the fight.
Ida breaks the news to Sam.
Lucille grieves. The hat is NOT purple, by the way.
Ah, senior citizens... far better behaved than children, but not quite as
adept at memorizing lines.
Help is just a headstone's throw away.
Ads and press releases in half a dozen local papers, announcements in
church bulletins, the LRAC newsletter, radio and television events
announcements, and a membership mailing. Why, what do YOU do?
She wants it memorized WHEN?
The real-life couple poses for a portrait.
So, we borrowed the clothes from FASHION BUG of Alexandria, MN
(thanks!). The director wanted a "Golden Girls" look (classy, not
frumpy). We had a KILLER mini-skirt on Alveda which she refused to wear
in the show (sorry, guys).
