Today is the 5oth anniversary of the collission of the Italian luxuary liner Andrea Doria. Fifty one people lost their lives including an old family friend of my parents. Of course the only collision more famous than this one was with The Titanic in 1912. Although this was a terrible tragedy, at least the loss of life was limited to those ill fated fifty-one! There were over eleven hundred passengers on this most famous ship! The colission occured in a dense fog in the Atlantic Ocean! Amazing ship! Happy belated birthday also to Alex Trubeck who turned sixty-six yesterday. Today is also the 83rd birthday of one of the funniest ladies in show business! That of course would be Estelle Getty who played "Sophia" on the "Golden Girls". Estelle is not well, health wise so great good wishes are being offered here. What a funny lady Estelle has been. Her incredible performance on "The Golden Girls" was simply classic. She helped me to laugh on many a night! What an incredibly funny lady! She did not start her career in show business until she was forty-seven years old when she first appeared in her first Off-Broadway show! Well the weather is cooling down. The temperature was ten degrees cooloer on this Tuesday! Well until tomorrow!
