In the family pic granddaughter, Syd, is directly behind her while I am next to Syd.  Next to Aunt Penny's left is her daughter Dorothy and to the left are cousins Brynna, Erin and Mellisa. 

Our family has been very involved in show business for many years. Aunt Penny's brother, my Uncle Barney McNulty (? - 2000), invented Cue Cards. He got his start with the Ed Wynn TV Show, one of the first shows to originate in Hollywood. He went on to form Ad-Libs, a company that produced cue cards for countless major stars including Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Fred Astaire, and  Orson Welles. He was Bob Hope's right hand man for 40 years ("Barney was my right-hand man, my ad libs.") and he also worked for many years with Milton Berle. 

Aunt Penny's sister was my Granma, June Elizabeth McNulty who was a Zeigfeld Follies girl in shows such as Red, White and Hot . . . I believe that was the name of it. My Grandma's husband Ray Flin (1905-1969) was a cinematographer who did work with Ed Wood and scores of TV shows: Checkmate, McHale's Navy, Ironside, etc.

I am doing my part in carrying on the family Showbiz tradition by appearing movies, TV, commercials and fashion shows (Bedazzled, Days of Our Lives, Toyota, etc.).
