In 1954, after stints on GUIDING LIGHT and VALIANT LADY, Helen Wagner joined the cast of THE WORLD OF MR. SWEENEY, which starred veteran comic actor Charlie Ruggles. Ruggles was given a 15-minute slot three nights a week. After a few months, the show moved to a daily slot on NBC's daytime schedule every day for over a year. Wagner played Marge Franklin.
Hi Roger,
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Helen Wagner said that she played Charlie Ruggles's daughter on Mr. Sweeney & one of the Walken brothers (either Christopher or Glenn) played her son/Ruggles's grandson. I found this on a TV Legends interview with Miss Wagner that's playing on You Tube. Thanks For Supplying The Photo From The Show! :)
