...year-old widow with three daughters to look after (two are step-daughters), she brings home a fair chunk of sugar-cured bacon. But she always has. She was sister Eileen in Wonderful Town, and she won a Tony award as Daisy Mae in Broadway's Li'l Abner. Early in her show business experience, she was taught how to go for the green.

And in 1592, when most of today's complex sciences had not even been conceived, he was neither idly boasting nor wildly exaggerating.
