...The One-Minute Pundit

Saturday, June 04, 2011


I guess we all know the story of Yvette Vickers -- the gorgeous model who posed before a...hi-fi, who starred in a few awful B sci-fi flicks, whose "mummified" remains were found after months in her house. As this haunting dispatch tells us likely no one would have attended her funeral but for a somewhat forgotten half-brother, who brought his family. Perhaps she could have been like that annoying -- well, you know, a certain hyperactive octogenarian TV PERSONALITY -- and made an ass of herself, but instead she just faded away, and too well. The tides of life are beyond our meager abilities but we're sure she didn't deserve this. On the other hand we gather hope that the pestilences of our time will soon fade away, and one thing's clear: they never knew Cary Grant -- and they won't engender a love note in our hearts.
