I recently read a Betty White autobiography, and she was very close with both of them. They seemed to have a solid love story. I wonder if his death contributed to hers at all.

One should always be on the lookout for fiendish thingies when enjoying winter sports.

I thought about that too, that Grant Tinker had just passed away.

You always wonder - but I heard that she was in very poor health. Carl Reiner said that she was pretty reclusive and had lost her sight due to diabetes. He or Larry King said that it was a minor miracle she had lived this long with Type A diabetes.
