Sally Starr Dies At Age 90
Philadelphia TV legend Sally Starr died today at age 90.
If you are between the ages of 35 and 60 and you grew up in the Philadelphia area, chances are you spent your afternoons watching Sally Starr. Her show came on right after school so you got to see Popeye and the Three Stooges every day.
R.I.P. Sally Starr
Sally Starr, the gun-totin’ cowgirl who rode a palomino with a silver saddle and introduced millions of children in the Philadelphia area to Popeye, Clutch Cargo, and the Three Stooges, died Sunday.
One of the most beloved celebrities in Philadelphia TV history, Miss Starr was an icon of the black-and-white era.
She died two days after her 90th birthday at the Berlin, Camden County, convalescent home where she lived, her former station, 6ABC, said in an online obituary.

Russians Recorded ‘Jihad’ Phone Conversation Between Tamerlan And His Insane Mother
Is it me or does she resemble The Sea Hag?
It’s not clear to what extent the Russians should have been open with the U.S. but weren’t, when it comes to the Tsarnaev clam but it appears that the Russians had more information than what they shared. Apparently, the nutcase mother of the Tsarnaev terrorists isn’t as insanely innocent as she’d like you to believe.
Via the AP:
Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials said Saturday, days after the U.S. government finally received details about the call.
In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, officials said.
The conversations are significant because, had they been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family.
As it was, Russian authorities told the FBI only that they had concerns that Tamerlan and his mother were religious extremists. With no additional information, the FBI conducted a limited inquiry and closed the case in June 2011.
Once again, evidence continues to mount in support of the ‘family affair’ theory.
