Description: "For five years, million of fans came to associate a throaty voice, infectious laugh, and wise-cracking banter with Sally Rogers, the pioneering "woman in a man's world" of The Dick Van Dyke Show. Actress Rose Marie infused the role with her own larger-than-life personality and flair for comic timing, song, and dance, earning three Emmy nominations and an entertainment legacy that goes far beyond re-run appearances on Nick at Nite.".

"Hold the Roses is Rose Marie's funny, honest, and long-awaited memoir of nearly seventy years spent in the entertainment industry. At the tender age of five, "Baby Rose Marie" was signed by NBC to star in her own radio show heard coast to coast. By the time she turned seven, NBC was forced to put her on tour to prove that the husky, adult voice that captivated radio listeners did indeed come from a cherubic little girl. In 1933, she appeared in her first film, International House, with W.C.

Fields, and she went on to share the screen with actors such as Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, Jackie Cooper, and Phil Silvers."--BOOK JACKET.
