Paul Winchell

Hooray! Hoorah! Yes, it's Paul Winchell

I used to love Paul's show as a kid. Sadly, I heard a lot of the show recordings were destroyed in contract disputes.

1. My father worked at a plant that made chemical weapons for the military
2. There is a bust (statue of my head) on display in Lithuania
3. In Berlin Germany, there is a street named after me.

4. I became a "mother" on mothers' day of 1965

Frank Zappa?

Back to you Landmark. Good job!

5. I had very little respect for formalized education
6. Soupy Sales knew who I was
7. My primary home was in Los Angeles
8. I was almost made ambassador to Checkoslovikia, but due to controversy, I had to settle for Atache.
9. I once testified before a Senate subcommittee.
10. People thought of me as a singer, but I said I was a composer.
11. My four children have unusual names.
12. Alice Cooper came to me to start his musical career.
13. When I was young I "played" a bicycle for Steve Allen.

Almost everything about that man seemed like it didn't make sense.

Thanks. I'll pass to anyone who wants to take it.

Meanwhile, here's the Steve Allen Zappa clip:

Haha! That's hilarious!

I'll jump in if no one else is ready. This should be another easy one ...

1. I could be described as a jack of all trades.
2. One of my job descriptions would be editor.
3. Another, president of a college.

Benjamin Franklin

Excellent, Cliff! These would have been my other clues:

4. At one time I was also affiliated with the Post Office.
5. I’m respected in the fields of science and politics.
6. I was admired by the French.
7. Although initially a slave owner, I later became an abolitionist.
8. People who borrow books from the library should thank me.
9. An image of my face appears on US currency.
10. I was one of the founding fathers of the United States.

That was an educated guess, but as a Physics teacher, I do talk about Franklin at times, especially his electric work.

1. I am a Brit - Born in London.
2. I have been married three times.
3. I have lots of famous friends who boosted my career.

4. Like many of my generation, I took what could have been an amazing career and changed it to a mediocre one through drug use.

Timothy Leary?

Amy Winehouse?

Not Leary....
Was he a Brit?

5. After my drug induced career drop, I spent two years of my life homeless and living on the street.

Harry Nillson

Nillson? Yo! He's a fellow New Yorker like me. Not him.

6. My slide down the scale culminated in a suicide attempt which cost me custody of my child.

Drat! Nillson seemed like the sad sort of sod who would fit the bill.

Syd Barrett.

Marianne Faithful.
