From hanging out with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. to working with Judy Garland and Goldie Hawn, Schlatter’s got stories.
— Tomlin wrote the foreword and Hawn the afterword to the memoir — as well as a cast of talented, funny performers that included Ruth Buzzi, Jo Anne Worley, Arte Johnson and Henry Gibson.
In the book, Schlatter makes the claim that ‘Laugh-In’ holds the little-known record of having been the first to broadcast a woman’s nipple on primetime television. The event occurred after the makeup artists on the pilot got a little bit carried away working on the “body credits” – show credits painted on the skin of Hawn and Judy Carne – and painted the petals of a daisy on Carne’s bare breast.
“Maybe it’s just my creeping senility but I don’t see anybody today having that much fun,” Schlatter says. “We got away with a lot. We pushed the boundaries a lot. And it was so fast that you weren’t aware of it until the next day.”“Laugh-In” might have been the most fun but Schlatter is proudest of his marriage of 67 years to wife Jolene and the two daughters they raised.
“I said, “Try to get rid of everything that’s gonna get me in trouble,’” Schlatter says. “The original dictation could have gotten me in trouble because I was telling stories that probably were best left untold.” “The stars arrived and they were dressed and they were having a good time,” he says. “The front room was full of all these interesting people. Today, there’s no sense of community like there was then. But every one of those people who came in there was interesting for different reasons.
It was at Ciro’s that he met his beloved wife, Jolene Brand, who was a dancer in the revue at the nightclub in addition to her acting career on TV shows such as “Gunsmoke,” “Zorro” and “The Ernie Kovacs Show.” “But as a result, I kind of got to know Frank, and over a period of years that relationship grew and it became a series of adventures and misadventures.
