her fans who write in seem to think she is But as the fictional school of Miss she probably has done more to educate children and adults alike to the fact that teachers are "just plain than any other individual in the nation Eve says now that going io be seen as a teacher on the XSL television version of Miss shell probably be-in to believe herself that she is an educator and not an actress She calls the role her favorite among the hundreds she has portrayed during her varsatile stage screen and radio career Lots of Letters Brooks is a character you can get your teeth Eve said besides you
