I'm at least a day late, and a dollar short, but belated Happy Birthday to funny lady Vicki Lawrence, born March 26, 1949.
It's a bit disconcerting to realize that Ms. Lawrence has only in recent years come within spitting distance of the right age to play her most beloved character, Thelma 'Mama' Harper, which she introduced on The Carol Burnett Show roughly half a century ago. (Be that as it may, Vicki still doesn't go in much for flowered print dresses, or gray hair, as you can see in the above photo.)
I was sorry to see her recent sitcom The Cool Kids ditched after a single season, but I trust there are still new adventures in her future. After all, who knows more about life as a senior citizen than Mama's alter ego?
