Phil Harris and Alice Faye. (I'm assuming that these mini-Alices with them are their
daughters... if so, it allows me to boast shamefully of a personal brush with celebrity:
One of the girls and her husband lived across the street from me in New Orleans in
the early '60s. Of course, at age 8 or 9 I had no idea who her mother was, but
I do seem to remember a bit of neighborhood buzz once when Alice was
supposedly visiting.)
