Georgie Bright Kunkel, West Seattle Herald columnist and stand up comic at the age of 90 made her Admiral Theater appearance today Sunday, Oct. 3 at an event called "Tea With Georgie" . Produced in association with Dinah Brein-McClellan of the Admiral the event saw close to 100 people laughing and being entertained by Kunkel's spritely mix of memory and observation.

"I got here at noon today!" said Kunkel, "Imagine someone my age getting here that early and spending all day!"

Kunkel was one of the original Rosie the Riveters during the war effort and helped to establish Washington State's first Chapter of NOW. 'My Sex Secrets by Grandma' one of her three mini-books was available for sale after the show where she was warmly greeted. As flashes went off capturing photos of the performer she said, "I feel like a rock star."

Also on sale was the book written with her husband Norman Kunkel WWII LIberator's Life: AFS Ambulance Driver Chooses Peace which is a recounting of his war experience and how it changed his life. The couple wrote to each other for two years during the war while Norman was an ambulance driver then married in 1946, and went on to raise a family of four.

Brien-McClellan said about Georgie, "I'm delighted with her. She has amazing energy. I know what Broadway producers feel like now. She and I would talk about 12 times a day in editing and changing things and getting things done so this one woman show on Broadway would take an entire army or a village as Hillary Clinton would say but I don't think she disappointed at all, she was great."
