When I first read the news that Wyman had died, the news link that Yahoo orig. had made me mad. It referred to her simply as the first wife of Ronald Reagan. Although this is true, she had other accomplishments (such as winning an Oscar) that they could have mentioned. Yahoo did update the link to reflect this later in the day. When I wrote about Ike Turner, I said that I felt it was important to remember his musical contributions and not focus solely on his sordid personal life.<BR/><BR/>By the way, thanks for stopping by and commenting on my TT about "The Twilight Zone".Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11998181.post-76034868959397302842007-12-27T22:33:00.000-05:002007-12-27T22:33:00.000-05:00Wow.
