ROARING DOUGHNUTS!!!!

Our first TV show came soon after we started working together in 1979. It was called ROARING DOUGHNUTS, and was about a Van Race/Scavenger Hunt (the wheels were "doughnuts"). The pilot was produced by rock concert maestro DON KIRSCHNER(!!!) and it starred the wonderful Marryin' Sam hisself STUBBY KAYE!
OLga and I made the puppets and marionettes, and along with puppeteering, I played the on-camera knuckleheaded bad guy VINNIE THE VANDAL opposite Olga's tuff punk GOONEY BIRD.

FRANK CAPRA

BILL TOST, OLGA FELGEMACHER & PETER BAIRD

SEEK REVENGE ON THE STAGE MANAGER (CARL HARMS)
