TVWeek (link), sourcing the NY Times: Peg Lynch, 98, wrote and starred in Ethel and Albert, which started on radio in 1944, then moved to TV in 1953, eventually logging episodes on all of the Big Three networks... nearly 11,000 scripts for radio and telly without even one co-writer!

The post includes an episode uploaded just in the last few months to the 'toob by Lynch herself, sponsor and all... and an old friend of TVBarn gets in a comment at the end...

There was an excellent interview with her in Mike Sacks's "Poking a Dead Frog." Worth the read.

I got the book from the library at lunchtime and started with that interview. Thanks for the recommendation.
