Hirschfeld on 50's Televison
I came across Hirschfeld's send off of 50's US TV. Besides the prerequisite Roller Derby's and All Star Wrestling which he has depicted (and I recall) there are a number of personalities, some now long forgotten. Or have they?
How many do you recall or know? Last edited by Penthode; 10-25-2015 at 10:01 PM.

An all time favorite was William Bendix in Life of Riley. But can't seem to spot him in there.

I know more of 'em than I prolly SHOULD.... And I bet a LOT of us do, too... But when you're fond of old stuff, it just kinda FOLLOWS that you know a LOT of this sort of stuff..

I'm pretty sure the two in the center with the straw hats are Judy Garland and Ethyl Merman.
Pretty sure Bogart and Bacall are in there too, though I don't know what their connection to TV would have been, other than their movies were run on TV a lot. It's too small to see but somewhere in there Hirschfeld probably hid his Daughters name "Nina", something he did with all his works.

Thick glasses at bottom: Wally Cox/Mr. Peepers? Also, next to and above Groucho seems to be Dorothy Killgallen, John Daly and Arlene Francis.

Remember way too many of them. Old enough to have seen them live on tv.

http://alhirschfeldblog.com/?p=25455 about halfway down the page is a key identifying all the characters. Nixon ain't there - someone else mentioned him, but he is MIA, along with Lassie - dunno why my favorite 50's show got the short....

& Sen. Joseph McCarthy... The one I thought Was Judy is Mary Martin. I had suspected the guy with the paper was Walter Winchell (just because he had a newspaper) but wasn't sure.
