Jill and Clare out for a walk 
Jill poses for two pictures with daughter Clare, here about age six in 1971, when Clare declares that she too would like to follow a show business career.  The pictures were taken by a news photo service in New Jersey, presumably to appear in a Sunday supplement to local newspapers. Two pictures added 11/19/09
Jill and Clare take a moment to pose with Jill's sister Alice in town for a visit.

Somebody's birthday!

In this more recent picture Jill, along with friend and fellow bird watcher Scott Kaminsky, enjoys her favorite outdoor activity in New York's Central Park not far from her former home in Manhattan.  In July 2008, Jill relocated to Los Angeles to be closer to daughter Clare, who has made her home there.
