My childhood dream was to be a June Taylor Dancer, I was sorry to hear of her death.

Reading of June Taylor's passing reminded me of my younger years when Jackie Gleason was on Saturday nights from "Miami Beach, the sun and fun capitol of the world." June's dancers always opened the show with one of their great routines, which featured those wonderful overhead camera shots of them.

R.I.P., June.

Very sad. She really had a unique production she shared with us all. Thanks, June.

Yes, both she and Tony Randall died (or at least had their deaths announced) yesterday.
