Not Condoleezza or Oprah.

Well.I said Condolezza because I know  she can play concert piano and she is 66 now.  I remember seeing one of the last Ted Mac shows in the 60s.So it fit time wise.

Is she a singer? Her face reminds me of Gladys Knight.

Winner winner chicken dinner. It is Gladys Knight. There is a great story concerning this picture. Evidently, the other kids who competed were all white. When little Gladys won she was too small to hold up the trophy. The show’s producers asked some of the other kids to come in and help her hold it up. Their parents refused.

 

Ted Mack saw what was going on and he stepped up and held up the trophy. Gladys said years later that she never forgot his tremendous act of kindness during a time where racism was very rampant in America.

That's awesome. At first glance, he looks like Hugh Beaumont (i.e., 'Ward Cleaver') in that photo.
