Proceeds for the evening will support The Thalians, the charitable organization to which Ruta has dedicated much of her life over the past sixty years, and which to date has raised has raised more than $50 million for mental health related causes. (NOTE: Though Ruta's performance on May 30 has sold out, you can still make a donation to The Thalians in any amount by going to Thalians.org.) Among other topics this segment, Ruta shares a few memories of co-starring opposite Patrick O'Neal in "A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain," an episode of The Twilight Zone from 1963 that Ruta considers one of her all-time favorite television performances, not only because of the character she played, but for the opportunity to perform the words of the great Rod Serling. Ruta also tells Ed why her experience filming Sergeants 3 (1962) with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop—and hanging out with the Rat Pack in general—ranks as her "favorite time in life."
