Stan Freberg was a voice actor & radio personality who refused to air ads for alcohol and cigarettes. In the 50s, he produced satirical recordings about pop culture. Green Chri$tma$ is about the holiday's over commercialization. After Christmas 1958, he gave $1,000 from the proceeds to charity.

Remembering Margaret Hamilton, THE Wicked Witch of the West, born 12/9/1902 in Cleveland, Oh. Before she got into acting, she was a kindergarten teacher. She believed in public education, was an animal activist and owned her own island off of Maine which her family still owns. RIP dear lady.

On November 26. 1982, "It Might Be You" was released. It was used in the movie Tootsie. (I need to add that one to the movies I need to watch again.) Dustin Hoffman's transformation - amazing.

On 11/9/62 "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" by The Miracles was released. I think the first few lines of the song Falling Slowly (released 43 years later) sounds a lot like it. What do you think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8mt...

One of the best Twilight Zones aired 11/3/1961, It's A Good Life. Bill Mumy & Cloris Leachman reprised their roles 41 years later in It's Still a Good Life, setting a record of the longest interval between the two and stars Mumy's real daughter as his daughter, who I think looks just like him.

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane-released October 31, 1962. My favorite psycho-horror film of that era. I like Victor Buono's (aka King Tut from the Batman series) brief performance.
