MORE NEWS!!

MY  "EARS" are showing at the  >>>> Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History in Washington,D.C. along with one of the few contributions by Disney for the 50th Anniversary of Disneyland - a Dumbo ride car from Fantasyland.

In a series of windows displaying artifacts from popular history: my sequined Ears, used on "25 Years of Mouseketeers" (TV special for our 25th Anniversary in 1980). are shown with it. I am the only Mouseketeer in the Smithsonian, and have donated over 50 items, most from the MMC.  My memoir was added to the collection in December

 

Dale and I are distraught that his horse has no body!
I had an email from an American physician who has been working in Russia for years. 

He and his late wife were fans from our original run in the U.S. before moving to a small town in the former Soviet Union. 

The MMC was running IN RUSSIA mid-1980s so his children became fans. 

Our series is NOW running in Russia (2010) so his grandkids are fans too!!!

PART OF MY AUDITION 'REEL' IS NOW ON YOUTUBE - SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE ME IN ANY OF THE TV AND FILM ROLES.

SCRAPPED the audio of my memoir; too personal, BUT will be doing an audio version of my book on comedy teams - TWO FOR THE SHOW: Great 20th Century Comedy Teams - updated from 2000 to 2010.

 

Thanks for the blurb, Leonard Maltin!

My memoir is available for less than retail on this site -- the only place you can acquire a SIGNED copy. Check Special Offers!

 

So far, in addition to about 20 US states,  I have  had requests for copies  of Confessions of an Accidental Mouseketeer  from folks in France, England, Australia and Canada ... and recently found out that it's available for sale in INDIA ... if you happen to be there!

Go mouseka-figure !?!

Keep checking in, Mouseketeers (and all others).

Did you know that Walt had the opening animation of the original MMC shot in color in anticipation of the future of TV? 

But it was broadcast in black and white as was the rest of the show.  If you have never seen the color opening, it's available on Youtube. 

There's a link at the end of my site's "The Anything Can Happen Page."
