Ruth Buzzi (Gladys Ormphby) on

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In...I was looking up the song "You're The Reason Our Kids are Ugly" Lorretta Lynn, and Conway Twitty, but there were so many redos,I got distracted and my mind moved on. I thought about the part where it says, 🤔

SPOKEN...
LORETTA: Conway, why in the devil don't you go and shave,
and put on a clean pair of pants?
CONWAY: But Loretta, look at yourself. I wish you'd take them curlers outta your hair and go put on a little make-up and get outta that housecoat before supper.
LORETTA: Well let me tell you somethin' Conway. Considering everything that I went through today, I look like a movie star.
CONWAY: Yeah, Ruth Buzzi. (Some lyric sites say Ruth Cassidy?)
LORETTA: Thank you.

So then my ADHD brain thought,"Hey, let's show the kids some videos of Ruth Buzzi!", because they had no idea who that was...The videos gave me a chuckle, so I thought I would share some here. 😅

I remember Ruth Buzzi but we are the same age range and that makes a difference.

What always amazed me is when I played an old movie with actors my kids never heard of before even in black and white movies and the kids protested before watching them but fell in love with them post watching. We have to share our classics.

@WillaKissing I agree. We do have to share the classics. :-) My kids laughed until they had tears in their eyes about Ruth Buzzi. :-)

Ruth nailed her Gladys character perfectly. Each and every time.

My favorite - I saw this the night it aired:
