She was also one of the biggest comediennes of the Big '80s, sizzle
cheeks. And not too shabby as a dramatic actress - see "The Color
Purple." But alas, since you were still swimming upstream in testicle
cream, that was before your time!ehe . Barbara Walters (sweet)
created "The View." She also has the distinction of being the first
female news anchor on prime time . -D, NYC "No, my Shakespeare! For
me, the Jew, your answer is not enough. My life has been no brief
moment, no tale signifying nothing. When I measure it with the measure
of my feelings, it has been an eternity, an ocean" - JACOB ADLER
