I must say, though, Loretta hasn't aged too well. =(
BAM! OUCH, Matt!!!

She's been on the street for 33 years man, cut her some slack! LOL!!

Seriously, the originals are all about 3 decades older than they used to be, and much as I love her, Gina isn't aging so well either. Maybe we should start another thread: who's aging the most gracefully?

Right now my votes on Maria.

Gosh, that's a toughie. I think I'll have to go with Roscoe Oreman. He look's pretty much the same now as he did in earlier years. Bob would be a close second. As for the women on the show, hmm., I guess I'll say Maria too.

Actually I saw her on the show about two or three weeks ago. Zoe and Rosita approach Oscar who is helping his pet elephant prepare for a water squirting contest. They want to watch and Oscar reluctantly agrees to let them. Fluffy squirts some water into the air at a distance. The camera cuts to Linda who is walking around casually enjoying the nice weather when the errant water squirted by Fluffy comes down on her and drenches her. I think she acutally SAID something in this scene. I didn't realize she was one of those few deaf people who can talk, since I never heard her do it as a kid (meaning ME as a kid, not her)

Someone else mentioned Roscoe Orman and that reminds me of a burning question I've had: didn't he have a small role in the movie"F/X" that came out sometime in the 80s? (I'm referring to the original movie, not the sequel or the poorly done TV series) Does anyone remember what it was?
