My friend "Freckles" and I go a long way back. My Mother
purchased him for me as she thought I had a talent for
ventriloquism.
I was in a dancing school called the Marie Moser Conservatory doing
singing, dancing and acting and modeling. I also did a lot of
charity work at Veterans hospitals as well as some little parts in a
couple of movies called Naked City and Dark Wood.
Marie Moser had a variety show called The Starlets on Channel 13
from Newark New Jersey. The year was about 1950-51. I
was the mistress of ceremony with "Freckles" on the show for a
couple of years.
I did skits and sang with "Freckles." My name then was Carole
Silvester. It was a lot of fun but also a lot of work sitting
in front of a mirror practicing my facial expression and not moving
my lips.
