He's more of an angel when you compare him to todays kids.

Do You have Gale Gordon Episode?

[nuts4clara]

Next Friday, the 17th, it will be exactly 50 years ago that Joseph Kearns died at age 55; his birthday was on the 12th. In fact, tomorrow, Sunday, February 12, 2012, is good ol Mr. Wilson's 105th birthday. =D

@fran9860 Gale Gordan replaced Kearns after he died on February 17, 1962, five days after he turned 55 years of age; he died of a cerebral thrombosis.

Is that where Doc Brown in Back to the Future got his famous quote "Great Scott" from?

Just when you think something was original, you find you someone else already done it in the past.

Just like the bible says there is nothing new under the sun.

@zazozung thank u for responding to my question

[zazozung]

@Midnightryder7 I believe it was his aunt and uncle. If he blew his lines they would take him behind the set and beat him with a belt. They were also extremely rude to the other child actors, particularly the one who played the lead girl (I forget her name). She tried to be friends with Jay but the aunt and uncle blew up at her and told her that Jay was the star and he didn't associate with lesser actors.

@zazozung Really?..this was one of my favorite shows growing up...what happend?..You mention Guardians instead of parents..and why didn't anyone help Jay North?

[zazozung]

Jay North was being abused by his guardians while this show was in production. The entire crew and cast knew about it and did nothing.
