Cliff Edwards- this is sad.

NickO'Time · 04-17-2007, 02:14 AM

I realize that unless one is very interested in Disney they would know this. But when a hometown forgets someone as a major figure as this gentleman,no words can be said. His life ending is really sad.

Tom Chaney on another board found this video on Youtube.

If this isn't in the right area please move mods.Thanks

You forgot to include the link.

Since Edwards has been dead for 35 years if this is something recent indicating he's been forgotten then I wouldn't be surprised. People much bigger and more important than Edwards have been quickly forgotten after their death.

Of course, the same is true for many major stars by the time they die as well.

Now that I am at work and can not view videos from YouTube or Google Video can someone describe?

It's a news piece about how nobody in his hometown knows who he is by name. Very sad ending to his life, too.

Since I couldn't edit my post.
Here's the link. Sorry about that.

Cliff Edwards
I understand he's not a big figure anymore, but I thought this song would be his mark on the world.

Heck, I used to live three blocks from the home of Earl Warren, former Alameda County District Attorney, Governor of California, and Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

My experience is that hardly anybody in the neighborhood knew who he was, let alone that he'd lived there.

OH MY GAWD!

Wait . . . didn't he kill Kennedy?

Should say former home, since he'd been dead quite a while by the time I lived there. But if his star can fade to nothing so quickly within a neighborhood I'd say anybody's can.
