I will hope to catch up with some of their work. Glad to see you mention Mary Taylor Moore since I remember loving her show as a young girl in the 1970s - I always remember the opening titles of her walking along the city street. And I also loved Eve Arden in 'Stage Door'!

Funny women have always and will always be here. The sad thing is that it is always treated as a new phenomenon.
