Newmar is still jovially energetic and cracking jokes as she prepares for her 80th birthday later this year. Not fazed by her iconic status, she is very down-to-earth, with a vigorous laugh.
Shes humble as she discusses the award shes soon to receive. I have to see what it feels like. Is it sparkly? Is it heavy? Do I have to hide it? Well see. Maybe show up in my birthday suit? Which one? Theres so many to choose from, Newmar jokes.
Newmar was honored on Sunday, January 13th, at the Jim Henson Lot in Hollywood, where guests were invited to the showing of the 70th Golden Globe Awards. The event benefited GLEHs Comprehensive Housing Care Program, a nationally recognized aging in place model for LGBT seniors.
