Ruby and Huell Howser in “Unfinished Business”

You see that house pink house up there on the hill there, Huell?

Yeah.

That was Joan Crawford's house.

Joan Crawford? Now when did she live there?

Uh, somewhere between Franchot Tone and that Pepsi guy.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, she wouldn't get out bed without makeup. So I used to have to sleep over and I draw her eyebrows in five minutes before the alarm went off.

Now did you ever meet her daughter, Christina?

Oh, yeah, that little troublemaker. Yeah, she came in one morning with that sidekick brother of her's trailing their restraints, and they says to me, "Oh," they says, "Ruby, ya gotta help us! Mommy's strapping us to the bed and giving us enemas!"

That's terrible. What did you do?

I examined my conscience, and I went on the side of the person who signed my paychecks. The Academy Award winning, Miss Joan Crawford! Thank you.
