Louise Lasser, best known as Woody Allen's real-life and on-screen romantic interest in "Bananas" and "Take the Money and Run," turns 69 today. (How can that be?)
The fine comic actress may be best known, though, for her starring role in the syndicated soap parody "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman." We watched it avidly at 11 p.m. weeknights on Ch.5 back in the day when the Bicentennial and Peter Frampton dominated our dinner conversation.
Enjoy this clip, showing Mary at her ditziest.
