Edgar Bergen was an actor and ventriloquist from the 1930s to the 1970s. He is best remembered as the creator of ventriloquist dummy, Charlie McCarthy. Bergen and Charlie were so popular that they appeared regularly on the radio, which does not sound like a possible venue for the duo, but the joy of listening to them was in their personalities much more so than Bergen's skill as a ventriloquist, and in many of their appearances, Charlie McCarthy is treated as a real mischievous human boy, and not a ventriloquist's dummy. Edgar Bergen and Charlie appear most famously in You Can't Cheat an Honest Man, Charlie McCarthy Detective, and Pure Feud AND Vera Miles was an actress from the 1950s to the 1980s. She was "Miss Kansas" in 1948 and came in third in the Miss America Pageant that year. She was signed by John Ford and appeared in two of his best movies, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Searchers. She was then signed by Alfred Hitchcock, who saw her as "the new Grace Kelly", and she appeared in two of his movies, Psycho and the Wrong Man, and she was also in several episodes of his TV show. She was supposed to star in Vertigo, but she had to withdraw when she became pregnant, and she had four children (by three husbands) in the 1950s and 1960s, and that severely curtailed her career, which likely would have included many more memorable film roles.
