The People Magazine article I read (that feautured Brandon Cruz) said she is retired and living in Hawaii. Is she still alive? It is a shame she did not get much work after COEF went off the air.

I think she is still alive.

Hottest Men alive:

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

[Eddie and Lumpy suppress laughter]

Dale Midkiff is my man!

Yup. Jenny's right. She's still alive and in excellent health. Happily married and has kids, am I right? She probably looks good like some other celebrities her age like Marla Gibbs, Isabel Sanford. You name it!

Can someone please tell me if they know the text for the poem (hyaku) that Mrs Livingston gives to Eddie? I think it was an episode with his birthday. "Is this real love" or something like that, A poem about the moon and clouds.
Thanks in advance,
gim

She was also great in Flower Drum Song (one of her co-stars was none other than Jack Soo, who played Sgt. Nick Yemana on Barney Miller!). According to Willie Aames in his book, Grace is Enough, he had a huge crush on Myoshi and was so excited when he guested on the show! He said he just stared at her almost the whole time.

Miyoshi Umeki was a great beauty and a great talent. She was the first asian to win an acting Oscar when she was named Best supporting actress for her role in 1957's "Sayonnara".
