Shag/Shad

 

 

I am still fascinated by the name of this character in the series.  Clearly credited as Shag, but the actors calling the character Shad.  I have something cool coming up with the artist/my friend Shag 
Imogene appeared in Rankin/Bass' The Enchanted World of Danny Kaye:  The Emperor's New Clothes in 1972, the same year Producer Sherwood Schwartz brought her back in a guest role on his Brady Bunch series.

It's Danny Kaye's Birthday!

 

It's Danny Kaye's Birthday! He spent a lot of time with Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass in 1971-1972 and enjoyed it! He appeared on The Dick Cavett show and spoke of both producers. He shot two specials with them, one was a pilot for a series that wasn't picked up. Arthur talks about a funny apparel incident in my books. C. 2012 Miser Bros Press/Rick Goldschmidt Archives

 

THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF DANNY KAYE

Arthur, Danny and Jules on the set of THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES:  THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF DANNY KAYE (1972)  Arthur became good friends with Danny during the two specials they made with him.  There is a Great behind-the-scenes vintage documentary on the DVD that RANKIN/BASS shot to sell the series to the networks.  Unfortunately, only one episode was made.  The doc features some great Jack Davis presentation art!

RANKIN/BASS' THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF DANNY KAYE

THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF DANNY KAYE

One of my favorites and it includes a RANKIN/BASS Documentary from 1972!

Many RANKIN/BASS fans ask about a documentary that was made during the Production days that shows how a RANKIN/BASS Special was assembled...This DVD has it!
