The Fruit Cake Lady Tribute
Marie Rudisill, The Fruit Cake Lady, rose to stardom on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" as a fruitcake baker, but achieved her greatest fame, after more than 20 taped segments,
advising naïve people on relationships with her signature no-nonsense blunt and hilariously candid advice. Unbeknownst to many, she was the real-life aunt to Truman Capote, and also had small roles in "A Christmas Story", and as a neighbor to Gregory Peck in "To Kill a Mockingbird". She suffered no fools, and was impressed by NO one, to often hilarious results. Perhaps her best relationships advice as Jay's "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" was when she told a woman who asked for the secret to a happy marriage, Marie was quick to reply,"Keep Miss Puss clean." In her 90s, she wrote the book, "Ask the Fruitcake Lady: Everything You Would Already Know If You Had Any Sense".
Marie Rudisill, The Fruit Cake Lady, 1911 - 2006, died Saturday, November 3rd, 2006 in Hudson, Florida. She was 95 years young. Marie is survived by son James, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten.
