I never saw her onstage, but when I was a kid, I loved watching her on the afternoon talk & game shows. She was funny & smart and her hair always bounced!
The great Dorothy Loudon, Tony-winning star of Annie, was born one hundred years ago today.
It was Loudon who came up with Miss Hannigan's whistle and flask—and improvised the famous lines like "Do I hear happiness in here?" & "Why any kid would want to be an orphan, I'll never know" in rehearsal.

As a former pretty young woman, I learned this the hard way. All of us do. And women who were not (or age out of being) conventionally attractive learn other takeaways.
Don't miss an important takeaway here: if you are a pretty young woman, inviting a guy senior to you to give a talk is assumed to be a romantic overture.
