"Everyone can't be a great beauty." Wow, what a thing to say to your daughter. No wonder her self esteem was in the toilet.

[@jackanthony976]

The mother knew what she was doing.

[@poorthing]

My mother told me I was no beauty but that I was very clean and neat. I thought that was hilarious, and it's one of my favorite memories. Nothing to do with self esteem for me.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

If my momma told me such a thing I’d joke about it saying “Well, people tell me I take after you or Poppa,” meaning if I was this much unsightly then I either look like her or like her taste in men. 🤭 My momma told me something else, she said I was nothing! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who’s she to judge? It hurt me lots when I was younger but over time I realized it shouldn’t have mattered because it was her personal opinion of me.. maybe she had problem seeing my true colors and only saw black and white. 😄 Ahh, I put those negative toxic individuals behind my back. My life’s more peaceful without them.

[@janedoe805]

Eileen Heckart born March 29, 1919 was either 41 or 42 years old because this was released in April 1961. I loved Ms. Heckart in Bus Stop 1956 with Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray. It was the same year she did “The Bad Seed”.
