I remember reading in “How Dare You Say, How Dare Me!” the autobiography of the late, great Pat Cooper (one of Dom’s and my all-time favorite comedians),
Funny you should mention 'Our Hero' Pat Cooper. I read a blurb today on FB that claimed he detested Lola Falana. This stemming from a Las Vegas connection of some sort.
2000 posts, and every one a 'keeper'. Keep 'em coming, BTB!
Dom,
I heard that the former sexy actress/singer/actress Lola Falana found Jesus later in life and is now involved in
several religious missions and charities.
I did not know that Pat Cooler had a problem with Ms. Falana. But, then, again, are there any other celebrities
that the late Mr. Cooper did
NOT have a problem with? Pat Cooper’s public rants about such other
celebrities as Frank Sinatra, Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme, Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee Gifford and far too many
others to cite (on “The Howard Stern Show.” “Imus in the Morning” and dozens of tv shows) are legendary.
By the way, wouldn’t Pat Cooper have been great on DS as Salvatore Bocchicchio, proud proprietor of Sal’s
Pizzeria & Trattoria, Collinsport’s premier Italian restaurant? Oh, what fun it would have been to have seen Sal/Pat interacting with Willie, Carolyn, Quentin, Julia, Barnabas and especially Roger Collins as they came into Sal/Pat’s eatery to pick up their pizza pie or chicken Marsala order!

No doubt, the late, great Raineypark would have absolutely loved having the “slightly” outspoken Mr. Pat Cooper (Caputo) as a regular on DS.

Alas, what we might have seen if DS had continued on into the mid-1970s.

And, thanks from one Garden State paisan to another Garden State paisan for your very kind words.
