I'm certain what info you found is accurate, but Gorshin's use of the phrase must be noted, too.R.A.M.'67https://www.blogger.com/profile/12817535165296807817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579509462565904231.post-1441768713592791492011-07-06T19:35:52.728-07:002011-07-06T19:35:52.728-07:00Too true, hahaha!

It may have settled some of Ethel's ire if the disclaimer was around when The Royal Family of Broadway came out! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935070386471677221noreply@blogger.com
