May be coincidence, but @MeTV played yesterday the Mama’s Family epi with Yvonne Wilder as a cellmate of Mama & Eunice. This shows that Ms. Wilder could hold her own in both comic scenes w @imcarolburnett & @vickilawrence & dramatic WSS scenes w @TheRitaMoreno & Natalie Wood! RIP https://t.co/RQD8MivqpX
