163
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.639
She was in a car accident left her paralyzed from

164
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.039
the waist down. Didn't slow down though. She acted off

165
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.480
through school. It's paid off though. She was the first

166
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.159
actor or actress who needed a wheelchair to perform on Broadway.

167
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.879
Later on, she actually wanted Tony for her performance in Oklahoma.

168
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.080
She is married and they have one son, Ah. Our

169
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.279
quote of the day it comes from actor George Reeves.

170
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.759
He was the guy who played the original Superman on TV.

171
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.360
He's murdered today. In nineteen fifty nine, at forty five

172
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.600
years old, he said, knock the tee off a cant succinct.

173
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.480
All right, well, thank you all for listening, follow us,

174
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.240
and who you listen to his own because he's a

175
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.480
cool media dot com. That's cool thrills our country and around.

176
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.240
Radio artist of the day, that's my request from Kindred

177
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:09.919
out there in Dayton. She says, you want to hear

178
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.320
some Brad Howard back of the pickup truck. You guys

179
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:13.919
have an awesome day. We'll talk tomorrow.

180
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.120
I wasn't bounding that and laughing as he rolled down

181
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:21.879
at old dirt rode Daddy Love getting in his rear view,

182
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.559
hoping that would just hang on. But like every call

183
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.000
of time, when I ever had so much fun as

184
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.360
I did win, I rolled in the back of a

185
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.840
pickup truck. I was saying, if they win, my arms

186
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:42.840
stretched out on that rusty bed, just waving that the

187
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.279
people win their cars. When the light turn red. I

188
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.000
get a little scared when the tires had a hohorr

189
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.320
about her, but it made me feel big in the

190
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:59.039
back of a pickup truck. I didn't care about the

191
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:03.720
roller coaster day down up the county fa to me,

192
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.720
it didn't have the punch.

193
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:06.720
A trip bad had.

194
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.240
When we got back home, I always throw my hands

195
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.679
up in the airs because I was so excited that

196
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.279
I got another right back there in my stake. I'm

197
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.879
kind of crazy when I said that my first love

198
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.200
was a bouncing it and laughing in the back of

199
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.279
a picker of trustle
