JACK E. LEONARD


Comedian JACK E. LEONARD has always been a favorite of mine!  He worked for RANKIN/BASS in THE MAD, MAD, MAD, COMEDIANS (1970), which was their highest rated special leading into the 1970 ACADEMY AWARDS SHOW.  I included a chapter on THE MAD, MAD, MAD COMEDIANS in my 15th ANNIVERSARY EDITION of THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS:  A PORTFOLIO book and I have it on DVD too :)

RANKIN/BASS also animated Christopher's tale in the FLIP WILSON segment of their 1970 TV Special THE MAD, MAD, MAD COMEDIANS.  THE MAD, MAD, MAD COMEDIANS was their highest rated TV Special, due to the fact that it was the lead-in to the 1970 ACADEMY AWARDS :)
