Bud Phineas so many years later and I just saw your mom on TV now (Buzzr channel) for the first time and cracked up. I had to Google her because she is naturally hilarious and her facial expressions are gold. Wish I could have found more images or videos of her in her older age. Her humor must have only gotten better with time.

I'll tell you the 100% truth , she was an absolute genius. Of course she was nervous, but she knew how to entertain the crowds and her nervousness instead of hurting her it completely empowered her and made people feel for her and want to root for her to win , even over 40 years later. A scout could have picked her up in a second and made a fortune.. 😊 a truly great woman... thanks for your support !

Just who the Hell are you? Just because Scott made a positive comment about how much he enjoyed watching Evie and how much fun she was having, if only we had the opportunity to have that much fun with the well loved celebrities, I think that would have been so much fun. It's amazing how many hearts she touched. Because you are a buzz kill, and probably never even seen Evie, doesn't mean he thinks he owns the world. He never said that, if Evie didn't touch alot of lives they wouldn't have put the show on the I Net. That being said, you will not have anybody remember you unless they put you on the most negative, jealous, people to make it on the DICK list. You don't like what he says about the person that was fun and caring, simply don't read it, but don't make fun of someone simply for loving this wonderful person.

@@scottrogers2831 you are welcome, the days Evie was on "MATCH GAME" Is the only time I recorded that show. When I'm feeling down I will watch those episodes and it brings me out of the rut I was in. I have to say, at first I thought, why doesn't she say anything? After they showed her feet bouncing up and down, I paid more attention. She was so nervous and I thought, what a fun Lady. I was really sad when she was no longer on the show. From what I seenThe cast really liked her and had fun while she was on. I'll bet she was the life of the party. She was really beautiful, inside and out. I was wishing there was a place that I could have wrote to her to get her autograph, but at that time I didn't know where to write or call to get one. To me, she is a person that was the star of the show. You are lucky to have had her touch your life. Don't even pay attention to "beings" like what's his nuts David. He is just jealous. I'm not a mean person, it just irritates me, I treat others the way they earn it, positive or negative, I don't mince words.

I grew up on this show, and have spent many days just watching repeats. How did I ever miss seeing Evie before? I thought this show was a delicious hot fudge sundae of game shows, but she's the cherry on the top I never knew I was missing. Her expressions and movements would be comedic genius from anyone who was a professional comedian. But she's the real deal, and you love and root for her from the very first minute. I wanted to cheer when she grew a little more comfortable, and stuck her tongue out at the audience boos on the last show. And her brief smiles showed she had a sense of humor about it all. During a brutally chaotic 2020, how wonderful to discover her at the end of it all. I can't imagine how she actually ended up on the show, and she must have been terrified in the days leading up to it. But thank heavens she went through with it!! Evie, you are a gift of pure joy. Sending thanks from 2020 back to you in 1975!

Evie won my heart after seeing her episodes rerun this past week. I know I would've been just as nervous as she was. Darn it, she was so cute you couldn't help but root for her! I saw that she passed in 2011...I hope that she had nothing but good memories of her time on the Match Game!

How many times have I watched this video of Mrs. Phineas and how many times have I laughed out so loud I worried my neighbors could hear me as I live alone. Love the class, dignity and absolute beautiful animation of showing her true self no holds barred through facial expression with few spoken words. What a great woman!

@A M Thank you. Since most mental health people want to blame any problems a person has on their mother, that model doesn't really make sense now with children being raised by daycare and schools and other extra curricular activities. It was great for my kids AND their friends who would always come over, and it allowed my husband to focus on his career and not worry if the kids would be OK.

Marriage and motherhood still are, and always will be, a worthy goal. They provide much opportunity for her, and for her family. It’s where the most women can have the greatest influence and make the most positive impact for good, for their families, and for generations to come.

My Mom auditioned for Wheel of Fortune and the first thing she said @ 79 yrs old was "I'm single"!! AND SHE HAD A BF!! Then as she told her hobbies, she said gardening and told the audience "everybody come get some tomatoes" the crowd was roaring ... then she did a line dance and had everyone clapping along!! I just lost her JAN 4th, her audition video will always make me LOL Rest sweetly Dearest Mom.... until we meet again!!

Gary Burghoff is still with us now in 2024!!! He's 81 years old. Burghoff made his feature film debut in Robert Altman's M*A*S*H (1970). Although several actors from the original film made guest appearances in the television series M*A*S*H (1972-1983), Burghoff was the only actor to continue as a regular, in the role of Radar O'Reilly.
