One book says that dear Natalie was seldom mentioned without a word rhyming with "itch" in the same sentence.

She so infuriated some American directors that she was for a time banned to Europe to irritate Technicolor customers there.

Oh, yeah, & "Technicolor" was worse about collecting "Tribute" than the Gambinos & Lucchessis ever DREAMED about being...Y'know, its kinda amazing how many uhh, "Interesting" personalities there have been in the Audio/Visual world...Edison was kinda flaky, apparently didn't believe in taking baths too much...Tesla was, well, kinda "Out there", too...Gen Sarnoff was a meglomaniac..."I don't GET ulcers...I GIVE them" was a quote attributed to him...Stubblefield apparently Saw Boogers, too...I mean, the list goes on & on...

That is very correct old tv nut,
sadly not to many pieces written about Natalie Kalmus have been found that did not include the word that starts with a "B" and sounds like witch.

As far as Curtis Mathes is concerned, the very flashy car lot like “CM Show Rooms” of the 1970’s and 80’s made you think you were getting the very best; especially when you sat down and filled out the monthly payment plan for your "most expensive television and dam worth it." Much like Toyota did with their showrooms.
