She's Mary in Boston Blackie, huh? I had no idea. I'll have to check to see when Radio Classics is running that show again and pay closer attention to it.
Goodness, I feel steeped in nostalgia. When I was a kid watching television was my big "vice" and I remember Madge and Palmolive very well. Jan Miner made the character memorable even as she was insulting her customers' hands. Thanks Martini, this was fun.
Jan Miner's Madge delighted millions of us. It was a treat for me to play an extra in MERMAIDS when it was filming in Marblehead, north of Boston in the party scene when Chers wearing that beautiful mermaid costume.

The Internet Archive has lots of old radio shows, including this one.

Thanks.
Oh fun! I bet that was a blast!
I lived on the North Shore for several years. Lovely area.
I remember Boston Blackie. How old does that make me?
Probably old enough to be married to a guy turning 90 😲😆🥰
