You can find more of her memories at hollywoodtimemachine.com/bartine. As someone who had the pleasure of knowing Bartine in her later years, she really was not fond ot talking about her past.

It was from those stills and other researchers that we able to create a filmography which is an ongoing work in progress.

Yeah, no kidding.

There was a time that any call outside of your area code was considered a "long distance" call and cost more than the usual rate. Most people would only call family members that lived out of town on Sundays to save money.

Long distance relationships could be expensive! Her ad was for Saturdays, but you could have a surprisingly high bill if you called during the week before 11pm.

Did you notice, too, at the end, how we went to her and graciously took her by the hands>

Buster seemed to be an anomaly just like Mel Blanc. There isn't much controversy in their lives, at least later lives. Buster had an upbringing that would make a tyrant, thankfully he knew it didn't define him.

You're welcome!

Thanks for watching

It's so funny when Bartine plays the ukulele in The High Sign.
