1912?

I think Joan literally took her rivalry with Lucy to the grave.

- the fact that Beverly Wills, Joan's daughter (who appeared in several "I MARRIED JOAN" episodes), her children, and Joan's mother died in a house fire, two years later.

Wasn't Joan Davis born in 1907? She was 53 when she passed away.

Yeah. That's sad. I didn't realize all that was going on.

Off topic: Monika, I love your latest Samantha and Darrin avatar.

Perhaps, but since she was dead when she was entombed, this means her family would have had final approval re the inscription- and what would it have gained them to have taken off five years? Moreover wouldn't her own surving mother have known the actual D O B and corrected it had she wanted to make sure it was accurate? I wonder why the family allowed this? :confused:
