It always was a bit startling to see her relatively young and vibrant under just recently. Of course that was because she was practically a baby when she started but still that was when sound was a mere five years old. When watching one of her early films it seems ancient and so she should be 185 not 85. So it was surprising today when I read of Sid Caesar's passing, an icon of decades more recent vintage, and read that he was six years older than she. <br /><br />A classy lady who was admirable in so many ways, not only not crushed by her fame but able to use it in so many constructive ways, if only there were more like her. There's not likely to be but that's what makes her unique.<br /><br />Happily Jane Withers lives on.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-29573357249118515732014-02-12T12:46:39.913-05:002014-02-12T12:46:39.913-05:00I checked into your site yesterday thinking that y...I checked into your site yesterday thinking that you might comment on her.Today i see that it takes some thought and effort to say something of meaning.<br />Thanks,<br />CharlieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326411621498652781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-36044983808006162062014-02-12T10:31:13.869-05:002014-02-12T10:31:13.869-05:00You're sending them off beautifully.

While not a child of the depression, I still grew up watching her movies, while at the same time watching and hearing of her functioning in the real world as an equally likeable and effective adult. Thank you for this.ilducehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964508218530524594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-78189892016799238122014-02-12T09:35:14.626-05:002014-02-12T09:35:14.626-05:00Thanks.
