I never knew that!

DID YOU KNOW? Actress Mae Questel who played the role of Aunt Bethany in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation was the voice behind Betty Boop, Minnie Mouse, Olive Oyl, and Felix the Cat.

Awesome

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

Great little grinders!

This picture is too beautiful not to be seen by everyone.

Harold "Hal" Smith, born in 1916 in Petoskey, MI, was credited with over 300 film and television productions throughout his long and illustrious career. A veteran of WWII, Hal served in the Philippines with the Army's Special Services Division reaching the rank of sergeant before being discharged in 1946. Following the war his acting career began almost immediately with appearances on The Red Skelton Show, National Velvet, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, and The Donna Reed Show among many others. However, it was for his long running role as Otis Campbell that he will always be remembered. With impeccable comedic timing and a talent for bringing the human side of his characters to life, Hal crafted Otis into far more than the stereotypical small town drunk. Almost immediately after his initial appearance, Otis became one of Mayberry's most beloved citizens and remains so to this today. However, as his close friends, Don Knotts and Andy Griffith, once stated, Hal was the opposite of Otis in many ways. For instance, Hal did not drink, and his reputation for being utterly reliable was legendary.

But there was so much more to this brilliant
actor than a singular television role. Hal was also a highly sought after voice artist who voiced such memorable characters as "Owl" from Winnie the Pooh, Disney's "Goofy," and Looney Tunes' immortal "Elmer Fudd" among countless others. If you've ever watched the Flinstones, Huckleberry Hound, Mickey Mouse, Pink Panther, Yogi Bear, or countless other cartoon classics you've no doubt heard Hal at his fun loving best. But it was the role of Whit in his 253 episodes of "Adventures in Odyssey" that Hal remembered as one of the most gratifying experiences of his career.

After the death of Louise, his wife of 56 years, Hal's own health declined rapidly and in 1994, while listening to a favorite nightly radio drama, he passed away from a heart attack (though many of his closest friends felt it was a broken heart that took him).

Mayberry was chock full of character, and Hal was one of it's very best.
