She is known for lawyer jokes, dressing in a white straw hat and wearing white gloves, humming along with the Christian hymns which provide her background music, and for her ethical vegetarianism. She is author of the Glendora Happy Book.
A living television pioneer, Glendora started in this new medium in 1950 with a children's show. She appeared as a guest on the David Letterman Show in 1987.
