[78-L] The Voice of Fred Flintstone

[Michael Biel]

Last Friday on Radio Once More they had a program where they played a
full radio program that featured one of the four main voices in The
Flintsones for its anniversary.  They used a Yours Truly Johnny Dollar
for Reed, a Benny for Mel B, a My Favorite Husband for Bea B, and I
forget what for Wilma's voice actor.  And on Sunday night my
YesterdayUSA broadcast partner Walden Hughes played an interview he had
done with Tony Curtis who mentioned that he did his own voice as Stony
Curtis.

Reed used the Fred Flintstone voice in the movie "The Postman Always
Rings Twice, as well. It was really strange to observe.
