...for the next nancy kominsky...

long before tv went 24/7 there was nancy.
nancy kominsky (b. 1915 - d. 2011), improved the lives of many

it's impossible to imagine the likes of her show 'paint along with nancy' being commissioned in our slick, modern era. instead we're fed a diet of fantasy masquerading as reality.

she regularly extolled the virtues of painting with a knife.
when a tissue was required she thought nothing of tearing a sheet off her always-to-hand toilet roll.
she could have been liberace's sister, or perhaps he hers. 
but this was the 1970s and it all seemed so right.
