That woman is defiantly not Phillis Diller. It is my grandmother Katheryn Connell.

End to this mystery.

Jim Backus was born on this date in 1913. {Feb. 25th}

Sadly, Mr. Backus passed away on July 3rd, 1989... May he R.I.P.

Please tell us more about Katheryn Connell! I've loved her voice and laugh on this record for decades and have always wondered whose it was. Thank you for giving the solution to the mystery.

@pokewoodmon your grandmother's laugh is one of the most infectious laughs I've ever heard; kudos to her!

The actress on this is Hermione Gingold. The instrumental backing is by Appleknocker and His Group.

I still have the 45 of this. Thanks for posting it since my record player is in storage :) My late sister and I used to laugh so much listening to this, such great memories!
