FZ was underappreciated as an envelope-pushing composer, and an innovator in both music AND video art. His deliciously-wicked and irreverent sense of humor was often misunderstood by the general public. His dedication to "product" excellence, and his anti-drug policy, often drove his various "Mothers" crazy. But, to chosen by him to be a Mother, was an honor like no other. At a time when most "rock stars" were drooling, drugged-out, half-wits, Zappa was a musical genius. IMHO.

June Lockhart in her mid luscious period. She started performing in the 1930s and still performed in various mediums clear into the 2000s. She started appearing in TV in the early 1950s and continued appearing in TV clear into the 2000s. Only a handful of performers can claim to appearing in games shows in the 1950s, 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. June is one of them. For sheer TV longevity, only Betty White out did her. Betty started in the 1940s and is still active.
