When Jimmy Carter became president in 1976, my mother and I promptly fell in love with his amusing, very direct mother, lovingly known as “Miss Lillian.”

When we visited Plains, Georgia, we toured the town and saw Miss Lillian’s home and hospital where she served as a nurse.

This is a delightful interview of Miss Lillian with Johnny Carson.
