Nancy Walker played "Rosie" in the commercial for Bounty Paper Towels.
She certainly did.....'the quicker picker-upper'...and said those commercials led to her being offered the role of Ida Morgenstern...
And she directed The Village People's box-office turkey Can't Stop the Music...and by all accounts was a holy terror on set.
Sansradio, I NEVER knew that! Yes, it was a total box office turkey!!

Quote for the Day:
"I was living in a fleabag hotel, and one night I heard these sirens and someone was breaking in a store below.
I looked out and police had surrounded the store, and I turned my tape-recorder on.
I saw 'Bonnie and Clyde a couple of times, and with those two things that's how I came to write 'Indiana'."
