"This Is True" reports that some bottom dwelling slime has robbed Romper Room's Miss Mary and taken the Magic Mirror.
ROMPER, BOMPER, STOMPER, BOO HOO: Mary Ann King, 70, has been robbed. The Los Angeles host of the "Romper Room" children's TV show from 1966 to 1976, King had just left a restaurant in Industry, Calif., when she was accosted in the parking lot. Her purse and another bag were stolen; the bag contained her "magic mirror" prop from the show. The magic mirror, actually a frame with nothing inside, was used on the show to allow her to "see" the audience, calling out the kids' names. After the show ended, "people would recognize me and say, 'You never said my name'," King said. "I started carrying the mirror around with me so I could say their name." She figures the "hoodlums" discarded the prop, not knowing what it was...That's what happens when the "Don't Bees" grow up.If the magic mirror shows up on eBay, I'm calling in SWAT on the seller and the buyer. And eBay too while I'm at it. Posted by Vanderleun at January 23, 2004 8:46 PM | TrackBack
