Talk about Left Field. Mrs. Poteet mentions this morning she’d read something about “Shields & Yarnell.” It took about five seconds for my brain’s RAM to tell me to say “oh…them.” I just don’t think much about mimes, not that there’s anything wrong with that. (I speak even less about them…which really is almost a professional courtesy, don’t you think?) S & Y were a pretty big TV deal in the mid to late 70’s, when variety shows were still a working format for broadcast television. These days you’d need the spouse of a sleazy politician to do the mime badly on a tropical island I guess.
BTW: I’ll save you the Google. They’re divorced, but alive, well, and occasionally reunited. The pics show them aging well, despite all that heavy white pancake makeup. He’s credited with coming up with “The Robot” move that Michael Jackson made a few bucks from. Small world.
