| Later in life I became good friends with Chris Calloway, Cab's daughter, who played Minnie Fae. She also played Brenda in the 1973 revival of PAJAMA GAME, with her father Barbara McNair, and Hal Linden. She told me many stories of what Cab, and others, did quietly while Pearl was doing her post curtain call 'act'. |
