If she could have just tolerated the boredom that was Ronnie think of the obit ...

She was a pretty good actress during her prime, but everyone will remember her as the egomaniac Angela Channing ruling the Falcon Crest brood with an iron fist. God, I loved how she verbally abused her daughter Abby and her daughter in-law Susan Sullivan like a fly looking for cow manure.

The AP had a quote from her that I'll take away as something to keep in mind: never talk about your ex-spouse, regardless what they did and how the divorce went down.

Classy and diginified throughout her life. God speed, Angela.

Doc: Then tell me, Future Boy, who's President in the United States in 1985?
Marty: Ronald Reagan.
Doc: Ronald Reagan? The actor?!? Then who's vice-President? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!
Marty: Whoa! Wait! Doc!
Doc: And Jack Benny, the Secretary of the Treasury!


Sorry that's the first thing I thought of.

RIP.

Hey, my dad, who is 90, did go to school with her, Berendo Junior High and L.A. Poly (which back then was where L.A. Trade Tech is now). Spnited, do you know my dad??

Old story . . . Ronnie Rayguns was bitching that she wouldn't drop everything to play helpmate when he was playing his political games in the late 40's . . . just about the time when she was deep into making her bones, doing Johnny Belinda . . . sort of a juniior-league DiMag/MM situation, when Joe D.'s simple self was wondering why Marilyn wouldn't drop everything and stay home and cook Italian while he was hanging out with his cronies . . .
