Fredrick Tucker : Verna Felton before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Verna Felton:

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An outstanding studyBy Robert M. WeissThis is probably the best book ever written about a character actress. The scholarship is impeccable. The book displays a gold mine of photos that capture the subject's life and times in vivid detail. The author's background as an amateur genealogist serves Turner well, as he delves not only into Verna's life, but virtually all the people who were a part of her life as well. The book contains numerous digressions, which may interrupt the narrative flow, but are fascinating in their own right. We know Verna as the kindly fairy godmother of Disney's Cinderella, Aunt Sarah in Disney's , and the good fairy Flora in Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Some of us remember her as Hilda Crocker in the 50s television program, , a precursor of Golden Girls. But as Turner relates, Verna was so much more. Her work in small theaters in the U.S. and Canada, her relationship with neighborhood children, her zest for life, all are depicted clearly in this encyclopedic volume. Try picking it up. You might find answers to some of your questions about character actors.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful!!By D. HurtMr. Tucker's book on the life of Verna Felton is wonderful. By the time I finished reading it I felt like I knew Verna Felton personally and that she was a close friend. His in-depth look at every aspect of her life is just the type of up close and personal biography I love to read. I can't imagine finding a more thorough or comprehensive look at her life as Mr. Tucker brings us.I also loved the way Mr. Tucker made me feel like I was there in each and every city with Verna. His descriptions of the theaters she played and his skill for bringing you the feel and look of those cities is extremely impressive as he goes into deep detail into making you feel as if you're being given a guided tour.I can't express how much I enjoyed this book. The photos alone are worth the price of the book and the many fun stories Mr. Tucker relates makes this a can't miss book. If you like a truly complete look at a person's life, Mr. Tucker's treatment of Verna Felton's is outstanding. She was a fun, wonderful character actor that I have always loved since first seeing her on December Bride. Her love for acting and life in general is very well documented through Mr. Tucker's hard work. I'm extremely grateful he shared her wonderful history with us.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. So Beautifully Written!By HappyinBuckeyeVery detailed and beautifully written. Someone needs to put these people in the spotlight. So many people don't recognize them or forget them. A wonderful memoir!

Today Verna Felton is most remembered for the voice characterizations she created for six features, but this biography reveals a varied career spanning sixty-five years. Twice nominated for an Emmy, Verna endeared herself to TV audiences of the 1950s as Hilda Crocker on Desilu's December Bride. Before that, she was in constant demand as a radio voice artist, supporting the likes of , Judy Canova, and . Fredrick Tucker chronicles her rise to fame, from phenomenal child actress to her final quarter century as one of Hollywood's most beloved character actresses. The book also features an abundance of rare photographs and several appendices, including a never-before-published episode guide for December Bride.

"Filled with a wealth of detail and a sense of respect and admiration...A successful biography offers the reader an intimate glimpse of the author's obsession. This volume clearly accomplishes that goal." --Radiogram, February 2011, p. 4From the Author Why write a biography of Verna Felton? I was consistently asked this question not only in casual conversations but also during interviews with individuals who actually knew the actress. One questioned whether there was an audience for such a book "in a world much changed" since Verna Felton's heyday. Another suggested that she did not deserve a book of her own but perhaps rather an inclusion in one that featured career profiles of sitcom second bananas. Yet another doubted that there was much of a story to tell at all. Such talk only provided more fuel for my research. However, I did not know much about Miss Felton's background when I was asked to write her biography. I had fallen in love with her characterization of Hilda Crocker on TV's December Bride when I was no more than six years old, and from time to time, I caught some of her movies on television. I had tried to find out more about her, but like so many other supporting players, Miss Felton remained overlooked by contemporary film historians. Delving into her background, I discovered that Verna Felton had led a most interesting life. As an amateur genealogist, I got swept up in her family history as well. While the average reader may consider some content as superfluous, I have chosen to include detailed information regarding my subject's relatives and intimates because their life stories might never be recorded otherwise. Verna Felton's career spanned sixty-five years and encompassed nearly thirty years of stage appearances, countless radio credits, a top-ten television series, and twenty-four films---including six Disney classics. Why not write a biography of Verna Felton?From the Back CoverFredrick Tucker has been a Verna Felton fan for over forty-five years. When not teaching history to sixth graders, he, like the actress, collects vintage hats. This is his first biography.
