  1. Nice photo. He is great example of a 'grotesqe' whiteface.

    My favorite picture of him is the one looking through a trailer window to the outside and I think Bernie Kalin[sp?](another great make-up) is in it as well.

  2. I remember shorty...I was on the Beatty show several years..one night we saw the highway patrol pulled him over for a broke tail light...shorty drove the girls sleeper. the cops jaw dropped when he saw shorty climb down from that big rig... (the peddles had blocks attached so he could push them) he just waved him on. he had a popeye outfit he wore for the comein.
