The one I remember most was Dodger pitcher Ralph Branca who graduated from AB Davis High School In 1944, same as my father. He of course then went on to infamy as the pitcher who surrendered a walk off home run to Bobby Thompson of the NY Giants, known as the "shot heard round the world" propelling them to the '51 World Series against the Yankees.

Ladies and gentlemen, the pride of Mount Vernon, NY, Art Carney! A truly peerless and versatile performer who should be more widely known beyond his immortal role as Jackie Gleason's oafish sidekick, Ed Norton. And his impersonation of FDR was absolutely spot on. Bravo, sir!!!

So cute and so skinny and his FDR was perfect!

Great vintage film of Art Carney. Thank you for this. I will add that the announcer voiceover is that of Harlow Wilcox, who was the longtime announcer on the Amos & Andy radio show.

forget the refrigerator, I wanna comptometer

Art Carney was the original Felix Unger on Broadway on The Odd Couple but Jack Lemmon played the role in the film version!

Here's another fact - Art Carney recorded a 78RPM of The Night Before Christmas in 1954. I think it might be on You Tube. What's of interest is that he did it along with only a drummer and HE DID IT IN A RAP STYLE! His phrasing comes close to the Fresh Prince. So one of the fathers of rap was a white man who worked in the sewer.

"Space Helmet on Captain Video!" "Sometimes in the sewer we get it up to here." That was a great impersonation of President Franklin Roosevelt. I just watched, "The Titans that Built America," last night. I loved seeing President Roosevelt eating crow getting DuPont to help the United States in the war effort after calling DuPont, "The Merchant of Death." Hey, Dems are still the same today!

Art was a true wunderkind!

As a sixty one year old "boy," I recall watching the color version of the "Honeymooners." A quick gag from the earlier black and white version, had Art Carney in the character of "Norton" teaching "Ralph" (Jackie Gleason) how to play golf. He told him that you must set up properly and address the ball. So, with driver in hand, he leaned over the ball, removed his hat and said, "Hellooo, Ball!!!" It was when simple comedy was funny.

I've been operating an appliance repair business for almost 40 years and the TRUTH IS, the newer the appliances are, the more they are DELIBERATELY DESIGNED TO FAIL, especially the electronic controls. One of my fridges lasted 35 years. My washer & dryer are 15 & 25 years old and still function perfectly. NOW people are needing to replace electronic controls after a few years that can be in excess of $350. Also, certain parts have what is called a "CORE CHARGE" which requires us to return the old defective part. And, what do the mfgrs do, they refurbish the old control and resell it as BRAND NEW. Most of my appliances are more than 20 years old and either still run perfectly or need a minor repair.
