Absoluktely right,  Gertrude Berg  starred in the Goldbergs and  Peggy Wood
starred in
"I remember Mama", which  evokes another  memory.   Remember her  doing the
coffee commercials during the show and then for years after the show  ended
(Was it Folgers?) and to keep this on topic,  believe Peggy Wood  recorded
some 78s, but I don't have any.  Last I remember seeing her was  in her
wonderful role as the Mother Superior in Sound of Music.
when she sang  "How do you solve a problem like  diah--er- I mean Maria".
