There was a Joyce Boulifante (sp?) Bobby Van died of a brain tumor and then his widow, Elaine Joyce married Neil Simon.

I mostly remember her on Password with her husband hosting.

Joyce Bulifant is who I was thinking of.

Fannie I believe is still around and a writer. I don't know about Di ck Gautier. I do remember he had a nervous tick, kind of like turrets. He was funny though. Not sure what his gig was, comedien or actor, singer?

I think Di ck Gautier was an actor. Maybe he was on Love American style too - another show I loved.

Yes tansy, Brett, bless her, could always be heard coughing when the camera was on someone else. She did quit smoking and lived many years after the show was over. Brett, Richard Dawson and Charles Nelson Riley were the three regulars on that show. Dickey Dawson used to be downright mean to her. I watch that show every morning with either my neighbor or a granddaughter or both. I have it automatically DVR'd. (I'm pathetic.)

I don't remember Dawson being nasty to her but I'll bow to your memory. I also adored Totie Fields but I don't know if she did the game shows.

I remember Totie Fields on Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin's shows. I liked her too. She was quick with the wit!

Just googled her and I only remember her as a blonde. There's a quick clip of her and Gene Simmons on MD. Three or four words and she was hilarious!

I remember her joke she used to say, 'if I married Truman Capote I would be Totie Capote', she got such a kick out of that!!
