jeezifonly Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Carole Cook has died - just days before her 99th birthday. Best remembered as the glammy grandma in Sixteen Candles, and as Maggie Jones in Broadway’s original cast of 42nd Street. A close friend of Lucille Ball, she was mentored by the comedy legend and has starred and guested on everything. Big bold and brassy, and hilarious and a belt that could fill a house unmiked. The very best of the 20th Century broads. https://imdb.to/3CJ8AfS Also a huge ally for the Queer Community, Carole was a guardian Angel and care-taker of gay men suffering at the height of the AIDS crisis in LA in the late 80’s, when their families stayed away. Raise a glass to her memory! thomas and + WilliamM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
