The late, great Ruth Buzzi is truly hilarious as Gladys Ormphby, the purse wielding, hairnet-wearing, man-hungry spinster on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast of Angie Dickinson (1977).

OMG! 😂😆😆 In this sketch, Dean Martin introduces her as the first President of the Frank Sinatra fan club from the 1940s, to which she tak
