I have an old post here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066327/board/thread/91513635?d=91514800&a mp;p=1#91514800 where I found a photo of Sonny Bono in almost an exact replica of the outfit Kris Kringle wore before Tanta give him the red fur outerwear, but the link no longer works
Glenn Campbell's photo still works though http://www.alhazan.com/images/glen-campbell.jpg
Kris Kringle was supposed to resemble his voice actor, Mickey Rooney.
shareOh my gosh, I never noticed that before. You're right. Santa does look just like Glen Campbell! Santa's a rhinestone cowboy! ... He looks nothing like Micky Rooney.
shareWhen I was little I thought it was Glen Campbell.
shareI loved Glen Campbell and always thought Kris Kringle looked just like him!
