She was a classic. Long shiny dress holding a long cigarette holder as I recall. What was her husband's name? Fang?
She was a real funny lady.

Decades ago I remember her on the Tonight Show with Carson. She did a short skit before she sat down with Johnny. She was bombing! No laughs at all. She got a chuckle out of that line about Fang, but that was it until she hit on the mother-in-law. She got a few chuckles and then she went into straight rapid-fire one-liners. Only two stuck with me ... she is so big, her dress size is Junior Missile and once a year they drag her through the Holland Tunnell to clean it. By the time she was done everyone was in stitches, my sides were hurting from laughing so hard and Johnny had to take a commercial break because he was in tears from laughing.
Almost anyone can tell a funny story or a couple of funny jokes, but that night I learned that to be a successful comedian takes much more.
Junior missile, indeed!

Asked why she called her husband Fang, she replied, “What else would you call a man with one tooth!”
I ran audio for her show for a two-week engagement at Walt Disney World's "Top of the World" supper club in the mid-1970's. We'd watch the clock in the tech booth and, when she got on a roll, she'd deliver a punch line every 7 seconds! This went on for the last 30 minutes of a 45-minute show. She'd come through the kitchen and into the booth 10 minutes early before every show to chat with the tech crew. She was a very warm, sincere, down-to-earth, wonderful lady -- and a pro in every sense of the word.
All very good. My favorite was:
