Rowan & Martin’s “Laugh-In” was regular viewing in my home, and I grew up watching the ebullient personality and quick wit of comedienne Ruth Buzzi. One of her main characters on the show was Gladys Ormphby, the spinster who used her handbag with effective accuracy.
Buzzi’s humor was definitely quirky, which was right up my alley. Yet she managed to steer clear of being twisted or weird; a distinction most comedians these days don’t understand. Yeah, I know, get off my lawn.
As an adult, I followed both her Facebook and X accounts for gems like this.
