It is beautiful and previously unknown to me. I am going to plunk down the money to download her tunes today. Please tell me she gets some of that money?!<br /><br />I've found some other "lost" singers of the 40s and 50s, so I'm always happy to find new ones.<br /><br />I also want to say that her looks are very chameleonic from photo to photo. Yes, sometimes she looks like Lana Turner, but she looks so different in all the eras (my favorite photo is the candid of her with her man and her camera).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845967694366470260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-50420734504790689372014-07-18T07:21:06.188-04:002014-07-18T07:21:06.188-04:00Ms. Lewis is proof positive that an active life an...Ms. Lewis is proof positive that an active life and mind keep a person right in the swing of life. She's an inspiration and is just about the textbook example of how to age with grace. Everything I've read about her leaves me thinking, "Geez, I wish I knew this lady!" I hadn't known of her autobiography (just ordered on Amazon) or her Facebook presence (just 'liked'). Keep doing what you're doing, Mrs. Lang!Gregoramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772797369793041385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-7758411612367504832014-07-17T16:00:51.907-04:002014-07-17T16:00:51.907-04:00Felix, I recall your association with Ms. Lewis.

Can there be any doubt that I'm some sort of TCM-era grim reaper?!? I feel awful about that and hope that the trend ceases immediately.

But her warm friendship resides in my heart!<br /><br />Monica is one of the kindest, easygoing, approachable people I've ever met. And considering that she sat at the very pinnacle of the Beverly Hills social whirl for years, there is not one shred of 'seen-it-all-superiority' in her.<br /><br />Her sharp memories of the past and, more importantly, her supreme interest in life of the present, make her an inspiration for me.<br /><br />I could go on and on about my friend, but better to check out her facebook page and grab a copy of her book and dazzle yourselves!<br /><br /> Philip Mershonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641146738422887485noreply@blogger.com
