Nobody ever wore a bathing suit like Esther...she use to Vaseline her face up so her make up looked fabulous even after a synchronized swim event. RIP Mermaid.

Harry Lewis dies at 93; launched the Hamburger Hamlet chain - From the L.A. Times
I was a Hamburger Hamlet fan and frequent visitor to the Costa Mesa and Hollywood Blvd locations as well as the Sunset Blvd location near Beverly Hills which was a favorite of Dean Martin. All are gone but I'll check out the new tiny one on Larchmont.

Slim Whitman Dead at 90
Gotta admit, this is one of those, "What, he was still alive?" moments, for me,... kinda like Abe Vigoda, who is still alive (just checked!), at 92.
