In February 1952, she moved to Phoenix, Arizona where she opened the Morrow’s Fashion Shop. In 1956, she moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to work for Ronzone’s Department Store as a buyer for children thru teenage. After four years she went to work for The White House in El Paso, Texas as a buyer. In November 1960, she again returned to Scottsbluff to manage the Mary Morrow Shop, where she remained until the shop was sold in January 1972. In May she went to work as a saleslady at Webber’s Furniture Store and remained there until December 1985.

“ELIZABETH TAYLOR” BARBIE MARRIES, DIVORCES, REMARRIES, DIVORCES KEN
NEW YORK (AP) – Last night we saw Lindsay Lohan channel Elizabeth Taylor, now Barbie’s doing it. People magazine says this Barbie is named after Taylor’s fragrance White Diamonds. She has Taylor’s black bob and a white dress with a red satin ribbon to represent her work for people with HIV/AIDS. The doll also comes with some gold jewelry, an extra pair of heels and sunglasses. It’s selling for $150.
“JEANNIE” REMEMBERS LARRY HAGMAN
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Larry Hagman is being remembered by his co-stars. Barbara Eden from “I Dream of Jeannie” says Hagman was “an element of pure Americana.” He later went to star as ruthless oilman J.R. Ewing in “Dallas.” His “Dallas” wife Linda Gray says Hagman “brought joy to everyone he knew.” Victoria Principal, who co-starred in the original series, recalls Hagman as “bigger than life.” She calls Hagman “unforgettable, and irreplaceable.” Hagman died in Dallas on Friday at age 81. His family says Hagman succumbed to complications from his battle with cancer.
VAMPIRES DOMINATE HOLIDAY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Turkey, stuffing — and vampires. The latest “Twilight Saga” movie stays number-one — in a record-breaking Thanksgiving for Hollywood. “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” takes in another $64 million. The James Bond movie “Skyfall” was second this weekend, followed by “Lincoln.” “Rise of the Guardians” opens in fourth place. Overall, $290 million worth of tickets were sold Wednesday through Sunday. That’s a Thanksgiving record and 25 percent better than last year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! I GOT YOU ELVIS PRESLEY’S OLD WATCH. (IT’S NOT RETURNABLE.)
LONDON (AP) – If you have enough money you can give someone – or yourself – one of the last Christmas presents given to Elvis Presley. The gift is a watch that was given to Presley by his longtime manager Tom Parker. It’s engraved “Elvis Merry Christmas, you pal Col. Tom Parker.” Presley died the following August. The diamond-set Rolex is estimated to sell for at least $9,500 when it goes on sale on Thursday. Also among the items in the Christie’s auction lot this time around is the corset worn by Madonna on her 1990 “Blond Ambition” tour. And yes, it’s one of those corsets with those cone-shaped cups.
STONES PLAY 50TH ANNIVERSARY SHOWS IN LONDON
LONDON (AP) – It’s been 50 years. But other than the lines and crags on their faces, you wouldn’t have known that it’s been that long since The Rolling Stones began playing as a band. The aging rock band played the first of five shows in London to mark their half-century mark. Lead singer Mick Jagger led the group through its paces during a two and a half-hour show – joined by former bass player Bill Wyman and guitar player Mick Taylor jamming with their former mates on stage. The show was held at the O2 Arena. Lead guitarist Keith Richards – who has survived battles with booze and drugs – told the audience during one break: “I’m happy to see you. I’m happy to see anybody.” Jagger told the audience “it’s amazing” the Stones are still playing – and that people are still buying their records and coming to their shows. He ended his comments with: “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

JASON’S YOUTUBE FLASHBACK! 11/21/12
“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” airs tonight on ABC! 7pm if you have cable. 6pm if you get East Coast ABC on a dish. As we mentioned back in October, the Peanuts specials have aired on ABC since 2001. But if you’re of a certain age, it always feels like something is missing. Here, check out this clip of a 1987 CBS broadcast and see if you agree:
The little animation that says “CBS Special Presentation”..all throughout my childhood it was the sign of something good. Charlie Brown…Rudolph…The Grinch…or even something cheesy like “Circus Of The Stars”.
However, you have to give props to ABC. They usually air the Peanuts specials in an expanded one-hour time slot, which means nothing gets cut. CBS was scissor happy with these iconic favorites, sometimes taking as much as four minutes out of the running time. (Notice how abruptly the football gag starts in this clip.)
(Yes, I know way too much about this stuff. Fortunately I failed math three times to allow for the extra brain storage.)
