You know I thought you would really enjoy this Melissa.
Here’s Lucille Ball with Carole Cook.
Thanks for posting this, they both look so happy in the photo.
I like photos like this because it makes these grand icons into human beings, into people. That’s why I listen to your show, for the same reason, because we get to see the beautiful person inside the celebrity.
OMG! She is a WHIP!!! What a delightful interview this is. She is so full of life and love. I absolutely LOVED this. Carole, if you are reading this, I hope you know that you just made a new fan– and I’m quite sure that everyone who downloaded this show can say the same. Think of this comment as a big hug!!!
Thank you for your love and support. We love you!!
Congrats on another wonderful interview, Fausto and Marc!
FINALLY I get to listen to this wonderful interview! Thanks, Fausto & Marc!
I love that Carole is from Abilene, TX! She’s got that good ole Texas wit. That’s really part of old Texas, which is lost today.
Fantastic Interview! She is amazing!
Thank you, Fausto & Marc!!
Loved it!
😀
I really enjoyed talking to her too William, Carole is a rare gem of a woman.
Another amazin Show!
I just love it when the old stars of yesteryear make it onto podcasts
I’m sure that Carole is sassy enough to know about the Internet, but she has just introduced me to a whole library of fabulous historical moments and I’ll be forever taking a look at Caroles work on YouTube from now on. So if you’re Reading this Carole, I think you should get a plane over to the UK and put on a show for all the new queens who have yet to discover your great wit and personality. X
I loved this interview…what a gem she is. I shed a tear when she talked about her working with AIDS that early in the fight. I also agree with you guys about the “cocktail”. There ain’t nothing jovial about it!
It sounds like a marketing term to me. Why not call it a pill regimen? But I guess they need to get people to take their medicine, right? A spoonful of sugar, a cocktail etc…
I have never heard from Carole Cook before but she is a lovely lady. Really enjoyed the interview. 🙂
The first play I ever saw and my first theatrical experience was seeing Carole Cook in “Auntie Mame” in 1964. I was four. As I am her nephew, this was a seminal event for me. We visit and speak on the phone often and she is very important to me. I know that her work on behalf of AIDS is her proudest achievement of her long career. As a gay man, this is particularly significant to me. Thank you for this gracious interview with my beloved Auntie Carole. Best wishes to you both.
Such a delightful woman…a treasure! I’m proud to be a “friend of the family!”
Carole and Tom are both wonderful, genuine, caring people. Thank you for the great interview with her. She is a great actress, but also a wonderful humanitarian who has done so much for the fight against HIV/AIDS. I’m proud to call them both my friends.
There is also a Carole Cook Fan Club Facebook page that your listeners might be interested in joining.
I would like to send a fan letter to Ms. Cook, but I cannot find an address to use. Can someone help me out?

Thanks, Mark. 🙂
