Summary: TVC 627.5: Entertainment legend Ruta Lee shares a few memories from her life and career, including the epic story of how she helped her grandmother emigrate from Lithuania in 1963, and how Darren McGavin put down a deposit in Ruta’s name for a home in Palm Springs, early in Ruta’s career. Ruta’s memoir, Consider Your Ass Kissed, not only is the story of how a young girl—the daughter of Lithuanian immigrants—became one of the most legendary entertainers in Hollywood history through hard work and determination, but includes a treasure trove of authentic memories about the Golden Age of Entertainment, including her work opposite such leading men as Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Charles Bronson, James Garner, Fred Astaire, Robin Williams, Howard Keel, Bob Crane, and Frank Sinatra.
