Lee Phillip Bell died last week.
I knew she was up in age, but her death still shocked me. I'm a local Chi-Town girl myself. I recall watching her talk show in Chicago as a child and teen in the 70's and 80's. My mom knew her when she was attending Northwestern U in the 40's. She also interviewed the Beatles and Stones according to reports. Her family still has a floral business in Cicero, IL. It was started by her dad. She always came across as nice person in interviews. Her late husband Bill was a protégée of soap opera pioneer Irma Phillips. He worked in advertising prior to writing soaps. May both RIP.
