A FLORENCE MacMICHAEL CELEBRATION - WEDNESDAY'S CHILD IS FULL OF WOE


O'BSERVATION:
Florence MacMichael would have been 100 years old tomorrow.  We're celebrating all week long with posts about her various Toobworld characters.

'DAN AUGUST'
"LOVE IS A NICKEL BAG"


Birthday girl Florence MacMichaels played Mrs. Goodson, whose son Joe overdosed at a party in his San Luis home while his parents were at a convention.  She refused to believe that her son was an addict, not her baby. 

I had to laugh at the fact that the family name was "Goodson".  Symbolism much?


"Love Is A Nickel Bag" is available on YouTube, but it's not the complete episode.  Still, Mrs. Goodson is only in a scene at the beginning with Burt Reynolds as Dan August and Byron Keith as her husband.

Here it is:



Also in the cast is Brad David, who was in a memorable TV movie "Sole Survivor" with Richard Basehart, Vince Edwards, William Shatner, and Lou Antonio.

BCnU!

On May 18, 2019, Florence's home town of Hagerstown, MD is going to honor her with a plaque at the "Circle of Achievement" in Memorial Park. All are welcome to attend.

I’ll have to keep an eye on the Hagerstown news for that. That’s a great acknowledgement!
