Growing up, this clip from Sesame Street (featuring comic and character actor Dennis Allen) was the only instruction that I ever had in the application of clown makeup.It says nothing about powdering and it's all done backwards.Which explains the trouble that I've always had with makeup design and application ; )It's followed by the two online comments that the clip received.
Great clip...I remember seeing this a kid too. I also seem to remember Seseme Street teaching kids to count by using footage of the Ringling Clowns coming out of the clown car. I want to say it was the late 60's or early 70's, shot outside an arena, and I really think Prince Paul was in it. Perhaps Pat with all his world wide web mojo can locate this one?-Greg
Sesame Street has a DVD box coming out in November with all of the late 60s/early 70s clips that they don't use anymore.It might be a part of that set but I'll look around the web anyway and see what turns up.~P
