Jayne Meadows, RIP

[GA Russell]

Jayne Meadows has died at 95. RIP.

I don't recall ever seeing any of her work. I just remember always seeing her on talk shows with Steve Allen (a favorite of mine).

This obit tells more of her career than I ever knew.

Well said. Don't think I can add anything to that.

[Larry Kart]

Met her once while interviewing Steve. She had a powerful classy presence, was obviously damn smart, and she and Steve seemed like a terrific couple.

[Chuck Nessa]

A better way to remember her than the current news stories.

Steve and Jayne were celebrity endorsers for years. RIP.

Steve Allen seemed like an intelligent guy, so it is easy to imagine that he would fall in love with an intelligent woman.

they were often appearing on '50s and '60s TV, especially panel shows.

"Louis?"

[Larry Kart]

"Louis?"

I believe it was always spelled that way, never "Louie," even though it was pronounced "Loo-eee." But isn't that often the case -- see "Louis XIV."

I'll trust your memory, Larry. I don't remember him ever being called Louis.

His name was spelled "Louis," but it was pronounced "Loo-eee."
