he is not like that around gertrude he knew better is not going to mess around gertrude.ut he had a really funny and dirty sense of humor. it was fun to read all of those letters. that was deafly a road i did not need to go down in the book. >> that's a great thing about research all these marvelous rabbit hull you find and you cannot stop yourself expect absolutely great these women, their lives a lot of their stories took place outside so hazel had a lot of other stuff that went on in her life that i did not get into as much. you know that kind of things as well. as i was at this time in television. i recommend all the rabbit hull with these stories. gertrude had a whole lifetime on radio before even got to her. there is so much to enjoy about their lives. it is so inspiring to read about them. >> so why don't you leave us with the name of a woman we should all go and look up and read more about. a woman who did not make it into your book. and you had to leave her out. >> i think fate emerson, you can read about her. she was a talkshow host and amanda randolph i mention

so altogether i think that is why are not everybody knows about gertrude either.and the very bad version. with those endless reruns they shot on film for i love lucy so it is just a bad copy of the show. and it's a huge factor in the end. in the legend that she should be in she was a genius but they also made a critical decision to shoot on film and that got the thousand to the streaming era even. >> i didn't even think about that. still captioner that crossed her mind. but that isn't what the industry like to see that they benefited. >> completely. in addition to the obvious factor a black woman in a jewish woman so it's fascinating that they went after gertrude's tv has been because part of that was he had the right resume as it were. and that butla when they come out with cafÉ society but then they got shut down with the blacklist but also a big labor activist but there was an interesting way to go after gertrude because she was so popular and beloved that then to demand that this lady listen to us and do what we say get rid of this guy. so i really think all o

rose and she said everybody knows who gertrude brooke was. so, that just tells you this woman was incredibly famous and i didn't know. i had never heard of her so that was the first thing. the second thing from the research wasar that we were talking about the character betty white played on the mary tyler moore show. great character that had a homemaking show on the station where mary works and she was a very sweet character in front of the camera and the minute the camera went off, she was a different person. before we had even described her as a betty white type and i thought i have no idea what you mean. i didn't know her until the 70s so i was like what is that. i looked it up and it turned out this was a joke about her character from the 40s and 50s when she would be on the los angeles daytime talk show so i was like how interesting and that one led me to do a little more research and reading. that is how i came to this idea and it's from there that i made this gigantic list where i began and throughout the book i mentioned a number of
