DEDICATED TO WALTER TETLEY AND THE OTHER VOICE ACTORS WITH JAY WARD PRODUCTIONS
Tonight I just finished watching WHO DONE IT for the umpteenth time, primarily because I couldn’t remember if the fresh kid was Walter Tetley or Kendall McComas (Breezy Brisbane in Our Gang.) Their size, sound and overall appearance were similar enough that in my mind’s eye I mixed them up. Anyway, my web search led […]
Are you guys still doing all of this stuff. I was a great fan of Walter Tetley and wish I could have met him. I’ll get back to you about my love of OTR and voice actors. I’m lucky that I managed to meet Paul Frees and many of the others while working (for 20 […]
I was interested to read your article since, although I don’t remember them originally, I have been ordering tapes of long ago radio show–including The Great Gildersleeve and Phil Harris. I was told at a paper show, which handled these tapes, that Walter was a dwarf and that was why he was able to do […]
I was very moved by your tribute to Walter Tetley. I do a segment for the Yesterday USA Radio Network and recently aired some PHIL HARRIS/ALICE FAYE stuff. Walter was a standout. I do was saddened to hear of his later years. I really loved the guy, even though we never met … and never. […]
Just a note .. You don’t know me but….. I was Listening to yesterdayusa.com old time radio show. They did a 1 hour talk about the life of Walter tetley. They gave a site that has a 200 page book about him. I thought you would like to know. https://bearmanor-digital.myshopify.com/ Thanks for your site Ray […]
i can’t believe there is a web site for this great voice of the past. On my semi local public radio station they play “The Great Gildersleeve” at 11:00 p.m. and I love it because I get out of work at that time and I really need to laugh. I just want to let you […]
Brian Some additional information, on Walter Tetley I first met Walter in 1955 or 1956. He was living in a trailer park and was a friend and neighbor of my aunt and uncle. The trailer park still exists and is part of Paradise Cove. This is a private beach in southern California about 5-7 miles […]
Hey Brian. I have an old autograph album from the early 1930s that belonged to an actress (broadway stuff) and some radio personalities. One page has the following inscription “To Patricia Waters with best wishes from Walter C. Tetley.” Me thinks it your boy Peabody (the next page is signed by Vivian Smolen of the […]
I found your Walter Tetley web page today and have very mixed feelings. As fan of Walter on both the Great Gildersleve and The Phil Harris shows I was always entertained by his wisecracking comments. Now I hear these programs on a regular basis thanks to Stan Freberg’s late night radio program “When Radio was…” […]
I discovered this photo in a box of family photos. My Mom had mentioned his name several times, but I never knew much about him, except that he was a family friend. Enjoy! Suzanne Hi I talked with my Dad on the phone a few minutes ago and he gave me some info concerning Walter […]
