I took a cab with my friend, Judy to the Ed Sullivan Theater. We waited outside and it was cold. I was directed upstairs and found a seat. In front of me was a big, burly guy that tells me, 'You might be on television. You can do whatever you want, but don't stand up.' Everything was a blur after that because I realized I could be on television.
Q: Describe what you were wearing that night
I wasn't wearing blue jeans. One wouldn't wear blue jeans. I was wearing a pink dress. I think what was noticeable about me was my hair. I had a huge spit curl.Q: What about how you behaved on the show?
I describe myself as panting and sighing. There was the build up and then the sigh.
Q: How did people react when you got hom?
It was a very quick event. I did focus on Paul, but it was quick all the same. Before I knew it, I was back out in the cold hailing a taxi that took me to my dark apartment. You have to understand, I didn't get the tape for 10 years. The first time I saw it was at the Museum of Broadcasting in New York City. I went in one day and discovered it was one of the most popular requested television shows and they put on a segment every day at 3p.m. And that I was! Forever 15 at 3 p.m. I remember once my kids were watching "The Wonder Years" and they started pointing to the television saying 'There you are Mom!' and then came all the retrospectives-- The Best of Ed Sullivan, the Best of the Beatles and I knew when they came on, I was attached to it. It's the Beatles and me--what could be cooler than that?
