DEDICATED TO WALTER TETLEY AND THE OTHER VOICE ACTORS WITH JAY WARD PRODUCTIONS
Dear Mr. Kistler: I just saw your Jay Ward website. I am writing a big piece, on Paul Frees, and I was wondering if you could provide me with some information on this great man. There are two things I would like from you. Is there any way you could send me a tape of […]
Brian, I came across this picture and thought you might like to have it if you don’t already. Also, someone sent me a copy of the 1938 Gene Autry movie, “Prairie Moon” and Walter Tetley is in quite a bit of it. He plays a tough city kid who inherits a ranch. However, I don’t […]
Hi. I saw your wonderful Bullwinkle pages and wondered if you’d know who of Paul Frees’ family is alive, and contact info for them? I’m wanting to write a book on him. You’ll be pleased to know that I’m also writing a book on The Great Gildersleeve with someone who has access to ULTRA-rare Walter […]
Hello, How are you? I have a couple of questions about artwork I cannot find. Who drew Mr. Peabody and Sherman? Is there a website with pictures of those characters? Thanks in advance! Marc M Hi Marc: From what I can see, it looks like the only two artists, for all the shows, from Rocky […]
Brian, The 1923 birth date theory is interesting, and more logical, given Tetley’s appearance in his 30’s movies. However, I still believe his real birth year was 1915. Check out the entry for Walter Tetley in the Social Security Death Index at Ancestry.com. Although a mistake could’ve been made on a death certificate, it’s not […]
The following email is a followup, on some info recently posted on Peabody’s Pony Express. Jonathan Orovitz has pointed out to us some arguments to support an opposing view, vis á vis Walter’s age, and Fred Allen’s role in getting the young lad started, in Hollywood. Regarding specifically Walter’s age, Jonathan had already given some valid […]
You’ll see in the obituary that Walter was first doing live radio somewhere back east, at WABC and WOR, and Fred Allen did discover him there and took him to Hollywood. It also mentions that he worked on radio with W.C. Fields. I’d like to hear those skits with Fields, if any recordings still exist. […]
Although I love old time radio, I’m not really in the “OTR Club” and I don’t know some of the other folks who have emailed you. My interest in Walter Tetley began like yours– when I was a kid I watched Rocky & Bullwinkle, and then the Bullwinkle Show. I was born in 1955, so […]
Hi Brian, I want to thank you for your wonderful Walter Tetley page. You’ve helped clear up a lot of questions I’ve had about Mr. Tetley. I am very familiar with his voice, not so much as Sherman but as Leroy on The Great Gildersleeve radio program. Walter’s contribution to The Great Gildersleeve is a […]
