They did a lot of G rated feature films that kids loved. Lawrence Welk was an American musician, accordionist, bandleader, and television. I remember Hailey Mills especially, but there were many others. The series aired locally in Los Angeles for four years, from 1951 to 1955, then nationally for another 16 years on ABC from 1955 to 1971, followed by 11 years in first-run syndication from 1971 to 1982. Disney had so many stars back in the 60s. The Lawrence Welk Show was an American televised musical variety show hosted by big band leader Lawrence Welk. If we get started on the Mouseketeers, that would probably be a large group too.

Who were the Samanski sisters? Lawrence Welk was on TV from 1955 to 1982 plus a lot of specials afterwards PBS once or twice a week. We might end up with a hundred people to profile just with Lawrence Welk and his cast and band. Guy was married to Ralda? but they divorced and he married Cissy. Singer Jim Turner married the girl who sang the country songs. Mary Lou Metzger married the bass player. Welk also built 1299 Ocean, an 11 story office complex next door, which is called 'The Wilshire Palisades' today. We used to invite all these entertainers into our living room in 16 inch black and white back in the 1950s! It will be fun to see who they really were.īobby Burgess married Myron Florin's daughter. Welk lived in the penthouse at 1221 Ocean while he was alive.
It would be fun to see how Annette Funicello connects to the tree too.
