What a GREAT Saturday this has been for Miss G, otherwise! NO PLANS! She slept late, cleaned up her office (she REALLY needs a personal assistant!), then spent the rest of the A.M. snuggling with the kitties! After lunch, she and the hubby went to Sam's Club for supplies and then came home and had a nap! After spending the early evening pulling oufits together for a big day tomorrow (Trash Disco for the Krewe followed by IPR Prom for ERSICSS) she made yummy steaks on the grill for dinner and spent the rest of the eve playing on her computer! 2 bottles of merlot later it's about time for bed but the Alice Ghostley news was Soooo blogworthy that Miss G decided to polish off the bottle! Hope to see all the locals at Trash Disco tomorrow!
Esmeralda' on Bewitched dies
LOS ANGELES — Alice Ghostley, the Tony Award-winning actress best known on television for playing Esmeralda on Bewitched and Bernice on Designing Women, has died. She was 81.
Ghostley died Friday at her home in Studio City after a long battle with colon cancer and a series of strokes, longtime friend Jim Pinkston said.
Ghostley made her Broadway debut in Leonard Sillman's New Faces of 1952. She received critical acclaim for singing The Boston Beguine, which became her signature song.
In the 1960s, Ghostley won a Tony for best featured actress in The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window.
From 1969 to 1972, she played the good witch and ditzy housekeeper Esmeralda on TV's Bewitched. She played Bernice Clifton on Designing Women from 1987 to 1993, for which she earned an Emmy nomination in 1992.
Ghostley's actor husband, Felice Orlandi, died in 2003.
