This was a nice photo set of people I admire. It was great to see "Baby" Rose Marie still holding up and making appearances.
I love Barry Humphries and his "protege" (Dame Edna), but they are NOT the same persons.
And whatever Michael Feinstein takes to look that good is something I'd like a supply of!
