Tonight is DATE NITE at DISNEYLAND for Leslie and I! We'll also be checking out our favorite attractions in NEW ORLEANS SQUARE...Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion.
Here's a couple of more classic photos from WGN-TV Chicago's BOZO's CIRCUS! Both photos are from the late 1960s and feature BOZO (Bob Bell) and OLIVER O. OLIVER (Ray Rayner).
Good luck to JOHN K. with his current HE HOG project!
I saw LINDA KAYE HENNING today at her Studio City, CA boutique. We chatted for a while and I told her how much I really enjoyed her work and her father's work! Her father is PAUL HENNING...legendary TV producer of PETTICOAT JUNCTION, THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES and GREEN ACRES. Linda Kaye played red-headed daughter Betty Jo Bradley on Petticoat Junction and provided the voice for Jethrine Bodine on The Beverly Hillbillies. Linda Kaye was very nice and a pleasure to meet! From my collection...below is PETTICOAT JUNCTION #2 from 1965.
Here's something for blog readers who grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s...just like me. As the studio audience would file out of the studio after seeing BOZO's CIRCUS live at WGN-TV, BOZO and other cast members would pose for photos with kids that were there at the show that day. Here's a great photo of BOZO (Bob Bell in center), OLIVER O. OLIVER (Ray Rayner on left) and SANDY (Don Sandburg on right) with a group of lucky kids! The photo is dated November 1967. What a great era of Chicago kids television!
