Beatrice Colen-Etta Candy

It's sad that she died from lung cancer at such a young age. I remember watching her on "happy Days" and "WW", she was so talented and down to earth in the roles that she played. Just so happens, I stumbled upon an episode of "It's a Living" online and I can't believe how much her voice changed and how deeper it became from years of smoking. She was still very pretty in this episode but her voice has gotten noticeably lower and deeper.

I concur about Beatrice Colen.

I am so glad that cigarette smoking has declined in popularity.

Etta Candy was a fun character, and it's a shame she wasn't used more. Beatrice Colen was especially good in the episode where Wotan was planning to blow up the building with the money plates. Her scenes with Lynda Carter as Diana Prince were hilarious.

I think the character of Etta Candy was supposed to be overweight and/or unattractive. But Beatrice Colen was cute. I guess sidekicks aren't supposed to be too attractive. And sharing a scene with Lynda Carter can make actors and actresses look shabby by comparison.
