Who is the fruitcake lady on jay leno

Rudisill began her career on Leno at the age of 89, after she published Fruitcake, a witty cookbook on the cakes she'd been making since she was a child, according to the tribute page to her on NBC. During her segment with Gibson, she didn't know who he was. Leno told her he was a harmonica player and he was making his first appearance. Rudisill had Leno on one side and Gibson on the other - allegedly the boys were going to make their own fruitcakes.

Leno surveyed the bowls of dried fruit. C'mon, get your nuts there. Though her cooking spots were popular, she might have been better known for her "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" segments. Viewers asked the tiny, white-haired woman questions, and she responded with more than a smattering of honesty in her profanity-peppered Southern drawl.

My days of being naughty are gone forever. A woman asked: "Do you think Santa will bring me a rich man who loves to cook and clean around the house? No such man. Another woman said her husband wanted a tool set for Christmas, but she didn't want to spend the money because she knew he would never use it. What did the Fruitcake Lady suggest doing? Her son said she didn't want a fuss. But the family, which includes three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, is going to have a private memorial service in Monroeville at a later date.

The kind who gives no dambs about feelings. Go kiss the ass of a monkey or something. Are you completely an idiot? And the dumbest question she was asked yet. The lady talmbout her boyfriend and her have been together for 9 years.

You can go ahead and get pregnant and that guy is gonna walk off and leave you. But the cherry on top of the awesome sundae came with the lady who asked her if she thinks she should stop using bad language.

Marie followed the drinking gourd up to our Lord in Telling it like it is. Never forget. So whatchu think of Marie the Fruitcake Lady? Can you picture her chasing people off her lawn like a pro? She is us. We is she.
