My love of Edie Adams got me in so much trouble. Mid 60's I was in high school and Edie and her husband were doing a fundraiser at a golf course not far from my home. I ditched school and was able to sneak onto the grounds. I saw Edie and had to meet her so I approached her. She was kind and we spoke for a few moments. During that time the local newspaper took our picture unknown to me by the way and the next morning the photo appeared in the local newspaper. My parents, and school officials all had the same question for me. How was I able to be in this photo at a time when I was supposed to be in school? Sure, I paid a heavy price for that moment, but the joy I've received over the years at the time such as this exceeds that brief bit of trouble. Yea! totally worth it!

I don't think Letterman was "bored" at all. Letterman was an avid fan of his predecessors. Letterman always had a tendency to be less over the top whenever he was interviewing someone he really respected. That's what I see here.

I was big time in love with Edie when I was eight years old. Dang, she was gorgeous.

She sang my favourite song “That’s All” on the last episode of I Love Lucy. Wells up my eyes each time I listen to it.

Not surprising since Dave was a huge fan of Ernie. And took so many ideas from his show. What a nice lady

There was a chain of these beauty shops with her name " Edie Adams cut and curl " my grandmother went there every week for her $4 wash and set. Then those shops turned " unisex" .. I found out when I walked into one location for a haircut , decided to try a unisex salon instead of a barber.. ,,only the name changed .. Not the decor or staff even the customers..much to my surprise they gave me a good haircut .. It was just awkward being a 19 yr old college guy getting a haircut amongst the old ladies in curlers .the lady cutting my hair, was a typical old school beautician in a pink uniform your grandma went to and also my grandmas age, but did an impressive haircut. I was a bit nervous since I've never had a beautician cut my hair let alone being the only guy in a beauty shop. Other than a couple posters of men's haircuts, the place had no masculine decor still circa 60's 70s beauty shop equipment.. For $ 8.95 .They also washed my hair , which I've never had done in a shop before either. Another elderly lady working there shampooed my hair first..I remember it felt so weird , I was kind of claustrophobic and antsy in the chair, the lady shampooing me was very nice, I think she knew I was nervous and kept telling me not to move my head and put my head all the way back in the sink. So that was my experience with Edie Adams ..A bit awkward , but 8.95 was good deal for a guys shampooing and haircut.

what a sweet woman!

She was crushed by his death. Too young.

A trooper, a survivor, and Tempest Stoner. I loved her from the age of ten when I stumbled into the living room whilst she was hawking the cigars. I still do. What a broad, Presbyterian from Tenafly, N.J.

Back in the early 60's, she was smoking hot and quite the singer. I hardly recognized her here. There's a wonderful DVD box set of her variety show, Here's Edie available on Amazon. She can also be seen on some old game show uploads here on KZfaq.

Ernie was very lucky to have Edie.

She was an incredible hottie in The Apartment. Great movie too.

LOVE THE NAIROBI TRIO 🥰🥰🥰

Loved Edie Adams in Under the Yum Yum Tree with Jack Lemmon

She looks and sounds like Elayne Boosler here. That 80's hair was something.

Man, Bill was tall.

She doesn't sound from NJ at all.

She doesn't really explain marginal tax rate correctly.

Can Letterman look more bored?
