Marie Wilson was one of the best of the "dumb blondes" of the 1930s and 1940s, but what most people don't know is that she was a highly intelligent woman who painstakingly created her persona in movies, on radio, and on television.

This book includes a complete log of the classic American television series episodes in which she appeared, My Friend Irma (1952-1953).

". . . an enjoyable read and something that would be welcomed by casual fans of Wilson, and those who are interested in a serious study of radio comedy and vaudeville since Wilson was a regular in Ken Murray's blackout." ​-Radiogram
