I may not have ever seen one single solitary episode of Dennis the Menace in my entire life, but I certainly know an iconic television show when hear about it. That’s why I had no qualms about shelling out twenty bucks or so to have my friend Bob Satterfield pick me up the photo at left that had been signed by Jay North and Jeannie Russell – that is Dennis Mitchell and Margaret Wade from the classic series – when they were making a joint appearance at one of the Hollywood Collectors Shows.
It was also a no-brainer that when they made an appearance at the Hollywood Collectors Show in October of 2005, I would approach them and ask them to pose for a picture with me, noting of course that I had previously purchased one of their signed photos. Mostly true, but not exactly…I never did get an actual autograph of Gloria Henry, who played Dennis’ mother on the series.
Jeannie Russell, Gloria Henry, Jay North, and me, the real menace
The celebrity encounters from the 2005 Hollywood Collectors Show will continue…
I loved wathcing Dennis the Menace when I was a child. He was a real menace. Loved the show!
