THE HAT SQUAD: DOROTHY PROVINE

Actress Dorothy Provine has passed away in Washington State. She was 75 and had been in hospice care for emphysema.

For Toobworld, her biggest contribution to the Tele-Folks Directory was Pinky Pinkham, a flapper entertainer in the crime drama 'The Roaring '20s'.

But even though it was from another fictional universe, that of the "Cineverse", this Caretaker of Toobworld will always remember her as Emmaline Marcus-Finch in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". Emmaline never wanted to join in on that search for the "Big W", but she was pulled along unwillingly by her older husband, her battle-axe of a mother, and her thick-headed brother. And yet she was the first one to discover the secret of the "Big W".....



As Emmaline, Dorothy Provine was one of my early crushes......
Good night, and may God bless.
