His genealogy can be found by doing a google search on "debbie.broderick" and scrolling down to the surname "hearne" He was born on 13 January 1908

Ah yes, banging the head with a tray as an accompaniment to a Frankie Laine song (Mule Train? or Rawhide?).

Really odd question. Talking to my husband about TV of our childhood. Can anyone remind me what Mr Pastrys act was. I know I loved him as a child but cant remember a thing about it and Im sure he was one of those charaters that was played by different people.
