I don't get tired of Mama's wise self.

I don't think they ever specifically said where the town was located, but something about it makes me think the south.

Probably is the south.

**GardenSirens** · 02-08-2016, 03:26 PM

lol probably.

**Melis** · 02-08-2016, 08:19 PM

I don't imagine it's up north.

Vicki Lawrence is 67 today. She is finally aging into the role.

**Melis** · 03-26-2016, 12:11 PM

lol I always thought of her as older since I knew her as Mama.

**GardenSirens** · 03-26-2016, 02:33 PM

I was surprised at how young she was haha.

**Barrybgb** · 03-26-2016, 02:50 PM

She was in her early 20s when she originated the character on "The Carol Burnett Show" and was about 32 or so when this show started.

**Melis** · 03-26-2016, 07:25 PM

Oh wow! She's good at playing old then.

**GardenSirens** · 03-28-2016, 10:25 AM

Yes, she really is one of the few who can pull it off convincingly!!

**Melis** · 03-28-2016, 01:46 PM

Yeah, I believed she was an old lady.

**Barrybgb** · 03-29-2016, 09:22 AM

It was those purse lips and voice that did it. The padded dress and saggy nylons helped.

**Melis** · 03-29-2016, 10:48 AM

She perfected it.
