Harry Von Zell

I was a kid back in the 70's, and WPIX channel 11 used to show reruns of The Burns and Allen Show all the time, so I became a fan. So as a young boy, I decided to write a fan letter to Harry Von Zell, and asked for an autograph. And he wrote back!! Which was extremely cool and exciting for me. And since then, I've become familiar with his work on the Eddie Cantor radio show, and he also played straight man and foil to Groucho Marx on a couple of radio shows as well. Harry was so great on the Burns and Allen show, just wonderful comic timing. By the way, I wrote to George Burns around the same time, and received an autograph from him as well. Which was really gracious, because about that time (1976), George Burns was riding extremely high, having just become an Academy Award winner. So that was really nice that he took the time to send an autograph through the mail to a young boy. They don't make 'em like these guys anymore. Well, thanks for letting me ramble.
