This rare silent 16mm color home movie footage of The Studio City,Cal. Christmas Parade also features guest appearances from two of Los Angeles,Cal.'s most popular kids tv hosts:Charlie("Chucko")Runyon The Clown and"Engineer Bill"Stulla.
Wow, this is a great video. I loved seeing the stars' children who grew up to be stars themselves: Melanie Griffith (with mom, Tippi Hedren), Mariska Hargitay (with mom, Jayne Mansfield) and Ed Begley Jr. (with his dad, Ed Begley).
This is outstanding footage. Are you sure this is from an amateur? There are two camera angles of several scenes and the lighting and exposure are terrific throughout. This seems to me like it's b-roll from a news organization, which were all still shooting on film in the '60s.
@glennbirk I am 100% certain this is amateur footage. It was taken by the person who owned the camera store, seen in the background of some shots. Obviously there were high-powered lights at the point where the footage were taken, and those may have been placed there by some professional. The footage was clearly taken by two cameras, but being a camera store owner, he had access to many cameras.
This is a nice surprise! Searching for Jayne Mansfield here..I didn' t think right away to select this video. I am so glad now that I did. Thank you for posting!
Fantastic!

Anyone know if this was ever sent to Mariska Hargitay? Since she would be the little girl sitting on the other side of Jayne Mansfield.
