...and the woman who did the segment is now 90, and suddenly "internet famous."

What fun!! She looks and sounds great for 90. I wondered about her accent in the video, then when she says she has no idea what that accent is about, it cracked me up!

I showed that clip to my Mom (who turns 80 tomorrow), and she definitely recalls pizza being a new and - as we'd say now - "buzzworthy" thing in around that timeframe. She clearly remembered the name of the first person who talked to her about it (she'd seen it on a trip to Boston, apparently) but was shaky as to whether it was '57 or '58.
