Shirley Bell R.I.P.

by gregbell 1/27/2010 12:43:00 PM

The actress who played Little Orphan Annie on radio has passed away at age 89. Shirley Bell Cole actually died on January 12th in Arizona, but the news was reported this week. Here is a link to a Chicago Tribune Obituary and here is ANOTHER.

I have also included some photos of her below (and before you ask, even though we are both from Illinois and shared a surname, we were not related, as far as I know).

Greg.

In the publicity photo above, Quin Ryan is at the microphone with Shirley Bell as "Little Orphan Annie" and Allan Baruck as
"Joe Corntassel" with their arms on Ryan's shoulders.

Hi, Greg! Normally, I'm not one for euphemisms but when it comes to our radio stars who leave us, I prefer "passed away" or "has left us" to the plain, white-bread "died." Thank you for that and, while I'm on the subject, I really like it when you discuss a radio star and you say, "he (or she) is still with us." That sounds so much nicer and more tactful than to say, "Can you believe this old geezer is still alive at the ripe old age of whatever." (I KNOW you wouldn't say it like that; I'm just having fun with you)
By the way -- with the Super Bowl coming up Feb. 7, will you have special radio football-themed shows? Just a suggestion! Go, Colts! Go, Saints!

My Dad was born in the 30's and loved these old radio shows. He often tells the grandkids about them and this is one he always talks about. Shirley Bell Cole was a real charmer, and she will be missed.

Anyone who reads this needs to seriously read what im about to say. First off, im a man. Next, please when you meet someone and you find out their sign, dont get those negative heart vibes that they are not compatable with your if a god damn sign says they are not. Be open minded, walk in there as if you dont know their sign and just relax. If you feel them go with the flow, it will happen.

I can not believe the amount of quality material that exists on this site. The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight in, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.
