Ms Adams was a beatiful and multi talented actress.The picture shown above in no way does her justice, she was really peppy & funny. My God how time flies. I clearly rember her and Ernie Kovacs on T.V. what a great show, it was real entertainment.
I know she passsed a few weeks ago but I was looking at some old shows and muriel commercials on utube what fine memories.
May Edie rest in peace.
with regrets,
George Renick
