Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks desperately trying to impress Sid Caesar.

Why hole yourselves up in a stuffy office when a terrace comes with it? Sid Caesar conducts a writing conference for his new TV show, Caesar's Hour, on the terrace of his penthouse office, October 28, 1954. Left to right around the table: Aaron Ruben, Joe Stein, Tony Webster (standing), Caesar, and Mel Tolkin. In the background, Howard Morris and Carl Reiner, Sid's fellow comics, lounge against the rail.

Patricia Ann Carroll (May 5, 1927 – July 30, 2022) Film, stage and television actress and comedian. She was known for voicing Ursula in The Little Mermaid as well as having a long acting career, including appearances in CBS's The Danny Thomas Show, ABC's Laverne & Shirley, and NBC's ER, as well as appearing in other guest-starring and series-regular roles on American television. In addition she voice-acted for several cartoon series. Carroll was an Emmy, Drama Desk, and Grammy Award winner, as well as a Tony Award nominee.

Carroll began her acting career in 1947. She got her first acting credit as Lorelei Crawford in the 1948 film, Hometown Girl. In 1952, she made her television debut in The Red Buttons Show.  In 1955, her Broadway debut in Catch a Star! garnered her a nomination for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. In 1956, Carroll won an Emmy Award for her work on Caesar's Hour and was a regular on the sitcom Make Room for Daddy from 1961 to 1964. She guest-starred in the drama anthology series The DuPont Show with June Allyson. Carroll also appeared on many variety shows of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, such as The Steve Allen show, The Danny Kaye Show, The Red Skelton Show, and The Carol Burnett Show. In 1965 she co-starred as "Prunella", one of the wicked stepsisters in the 1965 production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical version of Cinderella.

In early 1976, Carroll was cast as Lily, the mother of Shirley Feeney (played by Cindy Williams) in the episode "Mother Knows Worst" on the hit ABC situation comedy, Laverne & Shirley. She portrayed Pearl Markowitz, the mother of Adam Arkin's character Lenny Markowitz, in the 1977 CBS situation comedy Busting Loose. Her frequent television roles in the 1980s included newspaper owner Hope Stinson on the syndicated The Ted Knight Show (the former Too Close for Comfort) during its final season in 1986; and that of Gussie Holt, the mother of Suzanne Somers' lead character in the syndicated sitcom She's the Sheriff (1987–1989).

Caesar dressing is amazingly easy to make.

I made this and stuffed mushrooms tonight; those are currently in the oven so I'll reblog later with an update on their glory.

CAESAR DRESSING IF YOU WANT IT!

1 tbsp minced garlic (I used a garlic smasher and crushed 5 cloves, but we like garlic here and 1 tbsp isn't enough)

1 teaspoon anchovy paste (or slightly less than 1 tsp of fish sauce, or leave it out! I'm not a cop)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from one lemon (I legit just cut a lemon in half and squeezed out all of its juice)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (I like the brand Maille)

1 teaspoon Whatsonyershirt sauce (Worcestershire)

1 cup mayonnaise (Whatever you have will work)

½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (I left this out so I can eat it, my roomies can add some to their own salads)

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Add the first 5 ingredients to a bowl, whisk em together. Add the rest of the ingredients, do the same. Then you are done and have made your own Caesar dressing and you can put that shit on anything your tastebuds and heart direct you to.

Apparently every day at the Roman Senate was "take your child to work day." I want to see a drama of the Catilinarian orations from the point of view of the 7-year-olds sticking gum on the curia doors and dropping mice down each other's shirts.

From around the age of seven boys began to spend more time with their fathers, accompanying them about the business. At the same stage a girl would watch her mother as she ran the household, overseeing the slaves and, at least in traditional households, weaving clothes for the family. Boys saw their fathers meet and greet other senators, and were permitted to sit outside the open doors of the Senate's meeting place and listen to the debates.

Nanette Fabray gags as Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, and Howard Morris defy the No Smoking sign and try to read her newspaper. This was a sketch in the April 27, 1955 edition of Caesar's Hour, a TV comedy series.
