In The News…

Our sympathies to Jean Schulz, widow of Charles Schulz, and her family over the news that the home where she and "Sparky" lived in Santa Rosa was destroyed in the California wildfires. Fortunately, most of his artwork and memorabilia are safely housed in the the nearby Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center. The museum was unharmed, although it's closed for a while due to a lack of electricity and other necessities in the area.

Back here, I raved about a new documentary on the longest-working person in show business, Rose Marie. That documentary is about to get a national release — in New York City on Nov. 3, in San Francisco on Nov. 10 and in Los Angeles on Nov. 17.

I am delighted to see that my friend Laraine Newman is being inducted, along with other cast members of the original Saturday Night Live, into the Television Hall of Fame.
