How come the eldergays never told us about Carol Cooke

She's a riot. So sharp well into her 90s, too. Also, she should've received a Kennedy Center Honor for this She did a great Maude as Walter's ex who was marrying Maude's RICH uncle. Maude told her uncle that Walter's ex was marrying him to get her hands on whatever she could.

Maude told her uncle that Walter's ex was marrying him to get her hands on whatever she could.

Uncle replied: And so am I.

The eldergays want to keep her to themselves.

Carol Cook has always been a riot. She was in "Summer Lovers" playing Barbara Rush's friend visiting daughter Daryl Hannah and her friends in Santorini, Greece. The movie also starred the handsome Peter Gallagher and the gorgeous Valerie Quinnessen.

Great line by Carol Cook as she and Barbara Rush traipsed around ancient cobblestone streets in high heels: "My feet are killing me. When are they ever going to finish Greece?"

By the way, Carol Cook was very good friends with Lucille Ball.

FYI...Summer Lovers is the final theatrically-released film of actress Valérie Quennessen, who played a working archaeologist. She retired from acting shortly after to raise her children and died in a car accident in 1989 at the age of 31.

OP you must be new here. Never underestimate the agenda and treachery of the DL eldergays.

The great, funny and irreverent Carole Cook, 96. She's still alive.

Cook became a protégé of actress and comedian Lucille Ball in 1959, when the television star brought Cook to Hollywood to appear in the “Desilu Review”. It was Ball who gave the ingenue her stage name of "Carole", for Ball's friend Carole Lombard. Ball reportedly told Cook, "you have the same healthy disrespect for everything in general". Cook appeared regularly on The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy. Ball was matron of honor at Cook's wedding in 1964 to actor Tom Troupe, to whom she remains married; the couple have no children together.

Possibly because her name is CAROLE COOK, OP.

I saw her on Cagney & Lacey about a month ago and just assumed she was long dead.

People my age will remember her as the grandmother in Sixteen Candles.

Here she is in the 1981 Jerry Orbach revival of "42nd Street." (She shows up around 3:50.)

Because we eldergays need to keep some secrets so we stay relevant and aren't ignored. On second thought, never mind...
