The lyrics from Steven Curtis Chapman's song Dancing with Cinderella inspired me to make this tribute to Carolyn Jones. He wrote his song after his 5 year old daughter was killed by his son who accidentally hit his sister with their SUV after she ran in front of him in their driveway. The song goes through how he would practice dancing with her through major moments of her life. (a pretend ball, prom, and her wedding).
His lyrics "So I will dance with Cinderella while she is here in my arms... Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone." reminded me of, how on Carolyn's wedding day to Peter Bailey- Britton, she and John Astin danced their last dance together, and how in less than 10 months Carolyn would pass away due to her cancer.
At her funeral John Astin gave the eulogy and jokingly stated that "it was unlike her to draw people away from work to attend a memorial service." Carolyn Jones was truly John Astin's Cinderella.
