>>> Does anyone have any information on this mysterious creature or is she going to become another Mr. Schwump?<<< We do have the name of the actress Cheerio Meredith, so she doesn't hardly qualify for the mystery level the likes of Mr. Schwamp, Hazel, Nice Dress Nellie, etc. For those who haven't seen it, Here's a little more from another internet source: Cheerio Meredith (1890 - 1964) This sweet little lady actress had a fairly short-lived career which began late in her senior years, but the appearances she made were quite memorable. She was a tiny lady with chipmunk cheeks and a squeaky, but not irritable, voice. Very little is known of her early years, save that she was born on July 12, 1890 in Missouri and we continue the search for her biography. Among her film credits were: "A Fig Leaf for Eve" (1944) as Tilly the Old Drunk, her film debut; "The Fat Man" (1951) as Scrubwoman; "I'll Cry Tomorrow" (1951) as Elderly Woman; "I Married a Woman" (1958) as Mrs. Wilkins; "The Case Against Brooklyn" (1958) as Mrs. Carney; "The Legend of Tom Dooley" (1959); "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" (1962) as Mrs. Von Dittersdorf; "The Three Stooges in Orbit" (1962) as Old Maid in commercial; and "Sex and the Single Girl" (1964) as Elderly Woman, her last film. On television she played a semi-regular role on "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-68) as Emma Brand Watson and was a regular on "One Happy Family" (1961) playing Lovey Hackett. She also guest starred on "The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin"; "Bronco"; "Perry Mason"; "Rawhide"; "Bonanza"; "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Petticoat Junction" on TV. She died on December 25, 1964 in Woodland Hills, California. ------------------------------------ I was reading a tidbit on some restaurant history this week, and found out what a great prophet Briscoe Darling was. When he got run out of that restaurant for wanting to sit in the kitchen and watch them prepare the food, I thought that was just strange...particularly for a man that ate hogback and fish muddle, and didn't recognize steak. (what animal do you chomp that off of?). Actually, I have learned that that was a common paranoia back in the 50's, and Steak and Shake restaurants (big in the Midwest) designed their layout so that customers could the "steakburgers" being grilled. They also registered a slogan still seen in their outlets today "In sight-It must be right" referring to this visibility. So Briscoe would have loved Steak and Shake. Of course Morelli's let's you watch them pound the steak "ala Morelli" but Briscoe is not familiar with that meat. (what was that between the taters and the bread?)
Loved the video Card Allen. How do you keep coming up with something unique each year??? ----------------------------------- I also saw a TAGS alum on Brady Bunch.
