Sally Starr
I’m totally knocked for a loop. I
just found out that my childhood idol, Sally Starr died today. Yeah, I know
people get old and die, but I loved her…she was a friend, even though I didn’t
meet her in person until 1969. Life in
our house was not your typical Ozzie and Harriet type home, but Sally had a way
of making a child feel special. Her love for her young audience came through
our small screen television and right into my heart. I would sit in front of
the set every day to watch “Our Gal Sal” and Chief Halftown…both loving, intelligent
people, who truly understood children. I took my baby girl to meet her and
Chief Halftown at a special event, and they were both so sweet and kind.
I won’t go into detail about her professional
background, I’d rather that you can click on her name and read about this
amazing woman.
We will miss you Sally Starr and “May
the Good Lord be blessing you.”
I remember her wow guess i need to watch the news more!! Sad :-(

My daughter actually remembers when I took her to see Sally Starr and Chief Halftown. Thank you for being one of my friends :)
DeleteJust heard this morning, Marie. It's so sad, she was a wonderful lady and did so much for all of the kids who watched. I know my sister and I watched and loved her. She lived a good long life, and did so much for us all.
ReplyDeleteThere are good people on this world and it's always sad to lose one of them. Miss you Fran!! Hope all is well with you:)
