    Whew.  

    I thought you were talking about MY Violet.  But, then again, how would you know this?

    My Violet is special.  She is totally INSANE and thinks TRUMP is the greatest President ever and I get the pleasure of working on her at least twice a month.  She has some weird allergy where she coughs up mucus constantly and she needs a hot stone massage and needs to tell me all about her love of Donald Trump.

    Ironically, I do love this woman.  I love all my clients. I have to.  I have to care for their bodies and in order to do this correctly, you have to have total compassion for the human in the wrapping.

    So, I am glad my Violet is still breathing.  While she has all her facts completely WRONG about Trump, (all TRUMP voters manage to do that one) she is an excellent mother, grandma and all around loveable person.

    She is overweight but cute as a button.  Too bad she is vacant from the eyebrows upwards.  But I love her and am gald she is alive still.


    I do not know the other Violet. I am sorry for your loss.  Just because someone is not physically present in our lives, they STILL affect us.  Sometimes more than we realize.

    RIP VIOLET.   This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at July 11, 2019 12:03 PM MDT

    I thought the same thing!

    Except I only saw the Willy Wonka movie once and didn't particularly enjoy it.
    Denise's work on the TV show "Dark Shadows" is what I remember with great fondness. She was really good!

    And to her credit, Denise's part in the Willy Wonka movie is what I remember the most about the movie.

  • Can't say I ever saw her in anything else but Willy Wonka has been a favorite of mine since childhood.

    I think I would like  the movie much more if I watched it again.
    What a priceless part she played in that movie! 

    i now seem to remember actor Jack Albertson (is that his name?) playing the boy's grandfather - I liked his part, too, now that I think of it. And that fun--but-somehow-creepy-to-me Oompa song or something? I need to watch that movie again, I believe! Ha!
    :)

    And the main little boy himself -- he was cool character.
