born in Chicago in nineteen fifty four. Best known for

164
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.600
playing Lacy under All in the movie Caddy Shack. She

165
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.360
was also in the original Tron movie Now in Caddy

166
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.600
Shack in the scene where she walks around the pool

167
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.519
and then she climbs the ladder to the high dive

168
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.840
and then makes that perfect dive. Yeah, and all those

169
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.559
guys areing around the swimming pool are sucking in their

170
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.200
guts and stuff. Well, see once they completed that scene,

171
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.320
when she did the dive and everything, everyone on the

172
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.039
set had a huge sigh of relief. See, she was

173
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.720
technically blind. She really couldn't see what she was doing,

174
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.480
so everyone was afraid that she was going to hurt

175
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.360
herself falling into the poll or taking a header off

176
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.039
the high dive or something. But nope, she pulled it

177
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.039
off flawlessly. She had one daughter, Cindy. She just died

178
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.240
from natural causes last year at sixty nine years old.

179
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.240
Comedian actor Andrew Dice Clay's sixty seven. He's born in Brooklyn,

180
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.440
New York, in nineteen fifty seven, late nineteen eighties, early

181
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.720
nineteen nineties. Dice he was as popular as any comedian

182
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.799
possibly could be. But that's when political correctness came in

183
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.360
and yeah, kind of ruined his stick. But he's still

184
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.440
off the touring if you want to see him. Some

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.480
