I read in one of her books, I believe it was "Ask The Fruitcake Lady" that she had been married about 1930 to a man from Japan. Her family forced her to divorce him. Does anyone have any information on this?
How can she be 136 if she was born in 1911?
I have seen nothing online about her death. I saw the tribute on the Tonight Show but, otherwise, no mention. NorthernThunder 05:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

The article says that during her first appearance on The Tonight Show she was showing Jay Lenno and Mel Gibson to cook--wasn't it Tom Cruise? 68.206.134.81 ( talk) 04:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
I realize "The Fruitcake Lady" was best known for her rudeness and unexpectedly hilarious commentary while replying to people's questions on Leno. However, if I remember correctly, there was at least one occasion where her reply to a question was, quite honestly, very meaningful, and heartfelt, and something that actually made me smile.
There is one scene in particular I remember. I don't remember the question, but I remember her answer involved "hanging on to God's coattails and letting Him help pull you through" or something similar to that. It seemed a nice heartfelt contrast to her usual rudeness, and I would like so much to see her exact quote, or perhaps even video of it. Does anyone remember this scene?
