    Back in the '50's, us 3 as youngens had to do designated chores. Mum paid us 6 pence per week. One day I asked her for a 1d (penny raise per week) that way we would earn a penny per day to make it worthwhile. That was a pretty big deal for us back then.

    Remembering the life of actress and performer Mitzi Gaynor (93)
