I retired about five years ago. I was working at the Riviera and decided I had had enough. |
I thought nobody would be there. But the place was full, and there were a lot of entertainers -- I thought everyone would be working. |
I used to joke with him that his greatest ad lib was a right hook. He mellowed over the years. |
I will be carrying on the way Sonny did. Whatever happens, happens. |
We don't really call it retirement. I call it out of work. |
We were very, very close. Sonny and I have known each other for over 52 years. I'm all shook up about this. He was a sweetheart, a very strong person and a great performer. |
We're very close. Not just show business friends. |
