Haha! The fruitcake lady is great, shes so blunt... to put it mildly...
Marie Rudisill is the 95-year-old woman who appears in the "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" segments on the Tonight Show on American television. She was an aunt to novelist Truman Capote. Rudisill is the author of eight books, including a book titled Fruitcake, Memories of Truman Capote & Sook. She is a resident of Florida.
Rudisill was born in Alabama. She married James Rudisill in 1939. The couple had one son, Jim, and Rudisill currently has three grandchildren. Rudisill helped to raise Capote, who lived with her at times during his childhood, both in Alabama and New York City.
Rudisill's Fruitcake, Memories of Truman Capote & Sook book led to her being invited to be a guest on the Tonight Show in December 2000. During her first visit, she showed Jay Leno and Mel Gibson how to make fruitcakes. This led to her being named The Fruitcake Lady.
In 2002, the "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" segments became a regular part of the Tonight Show. In these segments, viewers pose prerecorded questions to Rudisill, and her often unpredictable responses are shown.
Consider yourselves informed.
