Barbara Sundahl was one of my best friends at Roosevelt. Soon after graduation she moved to Lakeland Florida to live with her sister Sharon and enjoy the "good life" in Florida, I Kathy Perry, lived at her house in Minneapolis. with her parents, and her sister Julie, for quite a while after she moved.
In Florida, she became involved in little theater,where she met and married the director, Gordon Oas-heim. Gordon was a B movie actor and even played in a movie about Elvis Presley, called "Nashville Rebel" with Waylon Jennings playing Elvis, and Gordon playing his manager. My husband Bob and I went to see it at the local Drive in Theater. We met Gordon when he and Barbara came to Minneapolis when both she and I were bridesmaids in CeCe Grossers wedding.
He and Barbara moved to New York City where Gordon planned to further his career on stage and screen. Barbara got a job working for Rollins and Joffe, the producers of all Woody Allen's films, among others. Barbara and Gordon divorced, and after a brief, but intense, relationship with one of the producers, she entered in to a longtime relationship with Gino Giglio, a well known New York stage manager, who managed the likes of Cats, and other large plays and productions. She and Gino lived in a fabulous, well located, apartment overlooking the Statue of Liberty, rent controlled at an incredible $450.00 per month, handed down through several generations of Gino's family. When she and Gino split, he gave her the apartment. I visited many times there. As did Barbara Carlson Lehman and a few of our other friends.
Barbara at one point in time was Woody Allens secretary. She later went to work for a talent agent who had only two clients, Woody Allen and David Letterman. Two of my Rose Girl employees and I went to visit her and she got us front row seats to a David Letterman taping.
Barbara developed breast cancer in her late 40's. She battled it for some time. On her 50th birthday she left her beloved New York City (giving the apartment back to Gino, with whom she maintained a close friendship) to live out her few remaining days with her brother Bob and his family in Arizona.
To this day, I still miss her. I have even had several dreams about her. Hoping that they were real and she was paying me a visit. Barbara was a very special person and all our lives were enriched and blessed by being her friend. Kathy Scott Perry
