[edit] Henning and Miss Teen USA

Is this [1] the Susan Henning in question? That article (and her IMDB entry) claim she was Miss Teen USA in 1965. -- Mikeblas 00:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

They probably got the title mixed up... most probably a similar title (news people get them mixed up all the time)... the Miss Teen USA title was first awarded in 1983... (what I find interesting that the similarly named Shelley Hennig won in 2004... odd coincidence) -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 00:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Early Life

Worthington's dog Spot is a direct parody of Chick Lambert's dog Storm. Lambert worked for Ralph Williams (parodied spot-on by The Firesign Theatre as Ralph Spoilsport) and featured his dog Storm in the many car commercials he did for Williams. Lambert later moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where, along with his dog, Storm II ("my dog, Storm the Second"), he sold cars for Jack Ross Chevrolet.

Jack Ross is a whole 'nother story. Unsuccessful candidate for Governor, married to '40s B-movie star Acquanetta, with a couple of the oiliest salesmen you ever want to meet.

For that matter, Ralph Williams is a whole 'nother story too.
