Alice Ghostley
Alice Ghostley played Ken Berry's nextdoor neighbor "Alice Cooper". Some say the shock rocker got his name from this show. Insiders know that Alice is a BIG TV fan.If anyone here knows the man, please authenticate this story.
shareThat may well be a true story -- no, I've never met him though -- although it's been mentioned that Alice Cooper was also the name of Betty's mom in the Betty & Veronica comic books (Archie Comics characters).
shareVincent Damon Furnier compiled his name from two influences in his life. He adopted the first name from Alice of "Brady Bunch" fame,in fact, he actually modeled the skirt from his Billion Dollar Baby tour after Alice's maid outfit that the Brady's forced her to wear. The last name Cooper comes from his Cortez High School custodian Burt Cooper. Incidently, Mr. Cooper achieved his own fame by patenting a cleaning device for the Cortez High School swimming pool. It has been dubbed the "C.S.D.P.S" or Cooper's Super Dooper Pooper Scooper!
