Remembering a classic actress 20 years later

Image
February 11, 1919 - July 4, 1995 It's been twenty years since the passing of a great lady.  Whether it was her own self titled talk show in the early 1950's or her numerous guest appearances on dozens of game shows, talks shows, dramas or sitcoms...whether it was her work on radio, film or stage or whether it was hearing her more than recognizable voice on several classic Disney films or whether it was as Lisa Douglas, her greatest role on "Green Acres" from 1965 to 1971 she was always there.  An important part of our television heritage for forty-five years.... Twenty years after her passing... In Memoriam Remembers: Eva Gabor
