Here is how she is immortalized at the Muppet Vision Theater at Disney's Hollywood Studios. One of the great visual puns at Disney World for a great Mousketeer.

She preferred Pinnochio. Her favorite line? "Lie to me AGAIN!"

God bless her, she suffered for a very long time. Her husband was a stalwart.

She was every boy's crush in the '60s. :)
