George H Ough of
Clinton, Iowa: “I’ve been driving the same car since 1915”
Ough’s
car is a 1914 Model “T” Ford, which he bought used for $375 a year after its
release. He has driven it around 200,000
miles without an accident. Henry Ford’s
“Tin Lizzie” was a revolution in design and was one of the first
mass-production vehicles. It was
available from 1908 until 1927.
Marvin Marx: “I
removed a splinter from Marilyn Monroe”
Back
in March, Marilyn got splinters in her celebrated derriere sliding into a chair
at Toots Shor’s, a popular New York nightspot for celebrities. She was there for Jackie Gleason’s 39th
birthday party. Marx is a writer for Gleason.
He was also in attendance and helped remove the foreign substance. Marx and writing partner Walter Stone were
responsible for many of the scripts for Gleason’s legendary series The Honeymooners (1955-56).
Special Guest
Paul Winchell uses Garry as a substitute dummy
Winchell
managed to carve out a successful career for himself, especially in the 50s and
60s, despite working in the shadow of the far more famous ventriloquist Edgar
Bergen. He was a popular television
personality who appeared on game shows (often with his most famous dummy, Jerry
Mahoney) and acted in comedies and even the occasional drama. Outside of his ventriloquism, he is probably
best remembered as a voice actor who originated several familiar characters,
including Disney’s Tigger, Dick Dastardly of the Wacky Races and The Smurfs’
evil nemesis Gargamel.
