Personal Quote:
Television and its use of computers can make everything talk, so there's no need for the art of ventriloquism anymore. I don't think young kids today would even understand it. See more »Trivia:
Frank Marshall the famous woodcarver from Chicago, made the dummies that would become Jerry Mahoney and Kucklehead Smiff. He also made Edger Bergen's Charlie McCarthy dummy and Jimmy Nelson's Danny O'Day, Farfel the Dog (famous for Nestles commercials), Terry Bennett's Red Flannels, Rusty Hinges, and many other famous dummies.
