She had it, she didn't have to fake it. She was such a cute classic lady, whatever she did was fun and original. She was always a delight. What a beautiful lady.
I knew that Marie had passed. Had to favorite this so I could relive the joy that I ALWAYS had when she was on. And Marie was always ON! So much so, that I felt like she was cleaning my hands at times. No, not like that ! She just touched me. No! Not like that either!
Did anyone notice that Mel Gibson didn't stay on for long? Was he on another show or did they get rid of him so that he wouldn't piss the fruitcake lady?
I love Mel and actually find his honesty a good thing, but old people seem to be the only group that he hasn't really low rated in public yet....Lol... Yay-O, you go Mel..
In Truman Capote's book, A Christmas Memory, this is the woman who was "Buddy's" (Truman's) friend --usually referred to as Sook by Truman. She was portrayed by Geraldine Page in the TV movie A CHRISTMAS MEMORY and THE THANKSGIVING VISITOR. Page won an Emmy Award portraying her. Truman wrote of her that she never traveled more than 5 miles from her home and never saw a picture show. And here she is on THE TONIGHT SHOW! What a life!
@zigfried64 : This is not the same cousin in "A Christmas Memory" the one in C.M. was Cousin Sook. This cousin, Marie Rudisill, was called "Cousin Tiny" because she was small and delicate. She lived in the same house with Truman for awhile when she was around 13 yrs. old. Isn't she a hoot!
@krallstello I thought it was odd that Truman wrote of Sook dying a few years after he was sent to military shcool; "A morning arrives in November when she cannot rouse herself to exclaim, "Oh my, it's fruitcake weather." But the fact that she is called Fruitcake Lady and she was one of Truman's aunts sure made it sound like she was Sook. Of course Sook was alive back in the 1880s so it would be impossible for her to be on The Tonight Show with Leno and Cruuise. THanks for clearing that up.
OMG!!! The way she looked at Tom Cruise while cleaning his hands @ 3:49 was CLASSIC! "Come here, Tom! Oh my Lord...have mercy..." LMBO.... Toooo cute.
May u R.I.P Fruitcake Lady u were awesome & nobody could ever replace you. You were the grandma everyone wished they had. You were the funniest Senior citizen I'd ever seen & still are.
No one can replace her or even come close to being her equal. That southern "charm" that was laced with just a little bit of off-color humor was priceless.
I wouldn't walk across the street to see idiot tom cruise!! His stupid acting completely destroyed the Valkyrie movie! I wish movie producers would quit using him! He's a flake...he proved that on oprah!
She had it, she didn't have to fake it. She was such a cute classic lady, whatever she did was fun and original. She was always a delight. What a beautiful lady.
