42. heard the reference before but had no clue as to its origin until i just looked it up. sally field? 1967? it's literally about a nun who can fly?
The show was from an era in Hollywood where I'm guessing execs sat around and pitched the wildest ideas they could think of and said, "That's gonna be a hit!" So, young Sally Fields, who was a breakout star from another show called Gidget about a surfer girl, is now a Nun from an order that wears a hat with fabric wings. Anyway, when she starts at the Convent, a gust of wind catches her and she discovers she is able to fly. It was completely pointless. I think it lasted three years. I was about 12 when the show started and watched it because she was cute. As crazy as that was, it was not the craziest idea they put on TV in the 60s. Check out this official storyline of the one season classic, My Mother The Car: "The story of the relationship between a man and his mother, the latter having been reincarnated as a 1928 Porter automobile."
.... the real question is how does one use it to convey emotion in a statement? We just going to see Sally whenever Nunn dunks in GT? What else? What would Kendrick say?
They can’t all be winners! I blame @TIME Still trying to figure out how to make Monk pick up the burning cauldron from David Carradine in Kung Fu lol. How does THAT convey as emotion? No idea.
LOL she probably knew how ridiculous it was which also probably prompted her famous (you really do like me) Oscar acceptance speech years later for a serious role.
"Hey a cute single nanny Mary Poppins that could sort of fly with an umbrella was popular. Let's try a nun! With a hat that makes her fly!"
Man, if Nunn ever makes it on this thread, he's gonna shake his head and think 'damn, what is up with these people?'
Bunch of youngsters in here that don’t know about the flying nun. I’m like a stale old Cookie I guess.
Get outta here, you're only as old as you feel. I mean it's not like you were alive when they weren't any cars lol
