Ruthie was the hooker in a scene from "Down Shadow Street," played by JoAnn Pflug. In 1974, at the end of a Match Game episode where Pflug and Richard Long were both panelists, Pflug said that the first work she did in television was that scene with RL, and he had been so kind to her that she wanted to give him a kiss, which she did. This is to recognize a sweet gesture.
