She then nodded to the bartender, Scotty Bowers, and said "Scotty tell Kay what a bang up lady she was".

It was a critical flop but a box office success. Leigh's friend Kendall died a month or two after the play opened.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851297819829806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-8233373163687898532009-10-04T23:25:11.718-04:002009-10-04T23:25:11.718-04:00ah, to have been one of those cigarette butts........ah, to have been one of those cigarette butts......normadesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325110017442011627noreply@blogger.com
