Right? Her story was a jaw-dropper.

Remembering Lyle Talbot, who died on today's date in 1996. I loved him in so many films, including Mary Stevens, M.D., Registered Nurse, Three on a Match, and She Had to Say Yes. After I wrote to him, he sent me the snapshot on the right, a few years before his death at age 94.
