Mitzi McCall

Mitzi McCall was an American comedian and actress who started out in Pittsburgh television, hosting the Kiddie Castle program, and performed at The Pittsburgh Playhouse before moving to Hollywood, where she adopted the surname McCall around 1955. In the early 1960s she and actress Joan Shawlee formed a nightclub act. She was known for a comedy partnership with Charlie Brill; the two appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 on the night the Beatles made their American television debut, a booking that stalled their career for months afterward. Her many television credits included Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, Life Goes On and Silk Stalkings, along with voice roles on Snorks, Mother Goose and Grimm, Free for All and The Paw Paws. In 1971 she voiced Penny on The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show, and she later played Bonnie in the film World's Greatest Dad (2009).
