Carol Channing (https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/15/entertainment/carol-channing-dead/index.html), 97.
No word on whether she had corn.
Embalming fluid is a girl's best friend.
One of the NYT pieces (http://"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/15/theater/carol-channing-appraisal-hello-dolly.html") fell nicely into place (http://"http://desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=9470.30") for me:
QuoteThat show, and her performance, seemed to have infiltrated the oxygen of the entire United States in 1964, much as the musical "Hamilton" would half a century later.

Pearl has been submerged for quite a while.
She went to the same high school that I went to, about 15 years before me. "Hello Dolly" had yet to be written when I was in school, but nonetheless she was already a legend and our teachers reminded us of what we could become if we ate all of our spinach. Steven Breyer, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court entered that high school when I was a student. Undoubtedly the teachers use him as an example of what the students could become, second only to Carol Channing. Leland Stanford Jr. went there and when he died his railroad magnet father endowed a university in his name. (Rube Goldberg also went to that school. Are you jealous yet?) It was, and is, a pretty snooty public school.

We get it, you're a huge disappointment to your high school.

You said it! They tried to stop me from going to the University of California because they thought that I would drag down the gradepoint average of their alumni. What a bunch of a-holes. I should have flunked out of UC. That would have served them right!

Steven Kazmierczak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Illinois_University_shooting), who not only hails from the same high school as I do, but did one better by shooting up my
college alma mater.
