I'm a character actor buff, in particular those actresses that appeared on 50s and 60s television, as well as films from that era. Also a fan of the great character actresses of the golden age of movies. My favorites include Alice Pearce, Bea Benaderet, Reta Shaw, Madge Blake, Ruth McDevitt, Jesslyn Fax, Marjorie Bennett, Marion Lorne, Verna Felton, Laura Hope Crews, Louise Closser Hale, Clara Blandick, Eleanor Audley, Elvia Allman, Maudie Prickett, Irene Tedrow, Doris Packer, Merie Earle, etc., etc. I like corresponding with other character actress fans. I am currently writing a biography of Verna Felton. Soon I will begin one on Bea Benaderet, with one of Alice Pearce to follow.

Deatiled Episode Guide Forthcoming

I have written a biography of December BRIDE actress Verna Felton for Bear Manor Media, which should be available for purchase in 2010. It contains a comprehensive episode guide for December BRIDE, complete with filming dates, episode synopses, and complete guest casts. Information it took years to compile and is available nowhere else! This show is largely forgotten today, but it boasted the fine talents of an ensemble cast, with formats similar to I LOVE LUCY. Spring Byington and Verna Felton could be considered senior citizen versions of Lucy and Ethel, in fact. Season Two is perhaps the best, with Season Three running a close second. The show ran out of steam by the fifth season, however, episodes near the end of this final season are superior to the first half. Fredrick Tucker frex59@bellsouth.net
