Two Chairs No Waiting
Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:19:06
On December 14, 2016 we lost one of the great character actors and gentlemen of all time, Bernard Fox. I thought it would be fitting to remember Mr. Fox with an interview I did with him back on 26 June 1998 in Kingsport, TN.
As you listen, near the beginning of the interview, we are interrupted by Howard “Ernest T.” Morris. Those you’ll here talking in the background are Maggie “Charlene Darling” Peterson, all the The Dillards (a.k.a. The Darling boy), Howard Morris, Elinor “Miss Ellie” Donahue, and Jean “the Fun Girl” Carson.
Bernard Fox was known to TAGS fans as Malcolm Merriweather but to non-Mayberry fans his best-known role was as the warlock physician Dr. Bombay on Bewitched.
Mr. Fox was a “fifth generation performer” and was born with the name Bernard Lawson in Port Talbot, Glamorgan, Wales. Maybe he’s distant kin to our own Floyd Lawson. Bernard was married to his wife Jacqueline since 1961.
This interview was first published on Two Chair back on episode #19 (February 17, 2009) but I felt it fitting to revisit.
