Rosemary Clooney, of the famed Clooney family, once appeared on Tom Snyder’s radio talk show. Clooney and Snyder have known each other for years, ever since they became neighbors in Beverly Hills.
“Rosie,” Snyder said. “You look great. Did you lose weight?”
“Yes,” the 300+ pound Clooney replied. “Last I checked it was over half a ton.”
The two laughed, the studio phones lit up with callers and the comment became part of the Clooney saga.
Rosemary Clooney – like millions of other Americans – always seemed to be on a diet.
