Steve's mother was hillarious!! Her timing was perfect!

[@litealite]

What an amazing woman.

[@NHfiddle]

This is awesome and you published it on my birthday of this year. I love Janye and everything she's done. She and Steve got married 4 months and 6 days after I was brought into this world.

Great Duo Steve & mom Funny reminds me of my mom now

[@carolynkingsley4421]

Great interview. When a person lives that long, they are full of good memories. It's oral history.

[@gemmawenger847]

Carolyn Kingsley excellent point!

[@jiovanna4136]

Is this Aubrey Meadows sister?...omg she looks so much like her sister and talks like her.

[@TheBatugan77]

Yes indeed.

[@cristiradu9982]

Love her (now extinct) mid-Atlantic accent

[@tommuscatello9426]

She emulates Katharine Hepburn in her speech.

Wowsers. Thanks for the bio. I'm sorry I was too lazy to Google it

[@gemmawenger847]

Joe Ambrose no worries!

[@gemmawenger847]

ian1856 I’ll have to check it out!

[@sinsinnomore5555]

This is a stern reminder to myself to Not try to hold on to the look I wore 4 decades earlier.....Jayne looks so dated it's sad

[@rosannagottlieb2675]

Pretty good for being in your 90's though

[@fonso1030]

I don’t see Jayne as overly dated at all, she looks very elegant and if she didn’t look like she did, she wouldn’t be Jayne Meadows. But that’s just my opinion.

[@darreylhenderson702]

We found the Karen in the comments

[@TheBatugan77]

Jayne earned the right to look any damn way she wanted.

[@TheBatugan77]

Jayne was married to one of the most talented men in the history of television. I remember her and Steve doing the PBS series 'Meeting of The Minds'. She was very talented in her own right. And if you hear her talk about Steve's demise (cat accident), it's evidence of their love for one another for all those years. Godspeed to both of them.
