"How long have you known me, Jack?
And you still donโt know how to spell my name."
Yogi Berra upon receiving a check from Jack Buck made out to, "Bearer."
Cat food executives were worried that Yogi Berra, along with fellow teammate Whitey Ford, were supplying the voice for a talking cat on a trampoline, did not have the necessary recognition factor with American women, who primarily buy cat food for the home.
Advertising department rushed to conduct a survey to prove Yogi Berraโs popularity.
He was known to 180 women out of 200. "Quaker Oats Companyโs, "Puss โn Boots Cat Food"

Veteran English actor Ronald Howard, son of Leslie Howard, starred in an American-made, shot-in-Paris Sherlock Holmes tv show in 1954. They shot 39 episodes. As kids, my brother and I tuned in late Saturday nights to watch. It aired after Monty Pythons and The Untouchables.

Hollywood and the Stars was a well-crafted, 1/2 hr NBC television series from 1963 that chronicled Hollywood history. I caught reruns of it in the early 70s and never forgot it. Narrated by Joseph Cotten, the haunting theme music was composed by Elmer Bernstein.

The characters of Ben Johnson and Harry Carey, Jr. were named Travis and Sandy in both Rio Grande and in John Ford's Wagon Master which was also made in 1950. Also, Ben Johnson is listed as Trooper Tyree in Rio Grande and as Sgt. Tyree in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949). I think Ford was having a little fun.

Brief appearance, pivotal line delivered in great style.
