These are my Mom's hands, and I would like to give a big hug to my own very special Mummy on this Mother's Day... She's the best...and always has been.
Here she is running my Danny Thomas Lines with me while I was in the bathtub. It was brilliant really...a night time ritual and one that worked...me being contained in one space made learning my lines for the show a breeze. My Mom was always there for me...coloring with me in my coloring book, playing Barbies with me, teaching me to knit to pass the time on the set. I was blessed...to have a Mom that was always by my side and doing what Mom's do best...Doodle Day is underway...I made this doodle to help this charity where 100% of the final sale price will support Neurofibromatosis, Inc. Take a look at my sister Veronica's doodle also... and my old pal Bill Mumy's doodle is up on Ebay too...Don't you want a celebrities original doodle hanging on your wall??? Here's a link to the Doodle Day site if your want more information... What a great Mothers Day gift...! A doodle drawing!
Speaking of Mom's...I was invited the other night by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to attend the "A Mothers Day Salute to TV Moms." It was a fun event.It is always a pleasure to visit with the lovely Marjorie Lord, my TV Mom of seven years. When we filmed the show I thought she was the most glamorous woman ever, with her flouncy skirts and pearls, but I also admired her spunk. She could deliver a one liner with the best of them. Still beaming and charming today...
There were plenty of other TV Moms being recognized at this occasion...Meredith Baxter, Diahann Carroll, Bonnie Franklin, Marion Ross, Cloris Leachman to name a few...
I also saw lots of my childhood friends from my show biz life (whose TV Moms were being honored), including Jon Provost, Tony Dow, Jerry Mathers, Valerie Bertinelli, Charlie Sheen andAnne Archer (Marjorie's real-life daughter)...It's like going to a grammer school reunion when one attends these events, since so many memories from my childhood weaved it's way among these characters. It was totally a blast.
Hope Sunday is a special day for Mom's everywhere...

I love looking at a person's hands. Hands are beautiful. The only natural thing-the only thing that can't be fixed or corrected. It's like looking at the soul.

You make me wish I had a photo of my mom's hands. Funny, they were what I remember noticing most just after she passed away, my eyes just lingered on them. Narled, darkend with age spots, and at last, very still.
