My friend Barbara Adams, former Rankin/Bass secretary

C. 2014 Rick Goldschmidt 

 
 We shared many photos of Barbara on the Rankin/Bass sets in our book The Arthur Rankin, Jr. Scrapbook:  The Birth of Animagic (Miser Bros Press).  She was the secretary that took home the cast of publicity only Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Animagic figures, after they were on display at the NBC Offices at Rockefeller Plaza, in New York.   The figures were used for publicity photos and this display only and not in the actual animation.   They were recently auctioned off for $368.000.
