VIEWS FROM A BROAD

Voice actor Dick Beals 85 has died -Speedy Alka-Seltzer & Davey Hanson RIP

"OH DAVEY"  

 BTW..did you know that Hal Smith aka Otis the Town Drunk on The Andy Griffith Show was Goliath??

 
The legendary Dick Beals — a star of radio, cartoons and more commercials than just about anyone — has died in a Southern California nursing home at the age of 85. 

Dick stood 4'7" due to a glandular problem which also gave him his youthful voice. He was playing ten-year-old boys well into his seventies and was often called upon to loop (i.e., dub in the voice of) live-action child actors in movies or on TV programs. 

He started in radio dramas in 1949 while attending Michigan State University. Several popular radio programs emanated from Detroit at the time and Dick wound up being heard on all of them but most notably The Lone Ranger, Challenge of the Yukon and The Green Hornet. His later cartoon credits include his being the first voice of Gumby and the first voice of Davey on the Davey & Goliath cartoon series. He was a loyal team member on the Roger Ramjet cartoon show and was heard throughout many Hanna-Barbera shows.

Romney Campaign Misspells 'America' in iPhone App...OOPS!

Somebody's Spell Check wasn't working...

WASHINGTON, May 30 (UPI) -- A typo misspelling "America" in presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's iPhone app has gone viral online.

Romney's iPhone app, "I'm with Mitt," allows users to post photos of themselves with 14 pre-made banners, including one reading "A Better Amercia," USA Today reported Wednesday.

The typo became a trending topic on Twitter, with users of the social media site mocking the mistake and speculating on the meaning of "Amercia."

Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul told MSNBC the campaign has submitted a corrected version of the app to Apple, but it needs to be approved by the company before it can be downloaded by users.

"Mistakes happen," Saul said.
