Totie Fields
Totie Fields
Totie Fields' family used the Inn in the 1950's and early 1960's as their personal vacation residence.
Born Sophie Feldman, Totie Fields was a New York-accented yenta doing self-deflating fat jokes amid her extroverted kvetching. In 1963, when Totie began performing in the Catskills, women weren't necessarily expected to offer their opinions or ideas. Totie did, though, treating the crowd like friends and blowing up stories about everyday events to comic proportions. She was a regular on The Ed Sullivan Show in the '70s, and she was making a big impression on future comics. There was no way to not pay attention to Totie Fields. Totie was diabetic, and in the late '70s, her health began to fail. In 1976, her leg had to be amputated because of phlebitis. After being fitted with an artificial leg, she returned to work saying, "I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me." Two years later, though, she died, inspirational, outrageous, and funny to the end.
