William Lanteau later appearances
I saw the string about William Lanteau, and wanted to remined the group that our own Ed Sawyer was a Semi-regular on the series Newhart. That is the one where Bob Newhart owned an Inn and had colorful characters like the Darling-esq Larry, Daryl and Daryl. William played a charactar named Chester. The much older Lanteau was usually seen with his friend Jim. He looks much different, bald, but the voice is unmistakable. Here is a Youtube link to an episode with him. He appears at about 9:30 and then at the end of the episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mCwv1uZkOg Around my house there have been strains of I smell Gas I somehow got into fresh highway paint and splattereed it on the side of my vehicle..so I was busy for two hours with gas and a rag trying to get it off the car, the tires, wheels, bumper etc. I got it pretty clear, but I will prbably hear the I smell gas comment foir a few days. What do you think you clean paint off with? Coal? The Untrained Voice ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
William Lanteau
William Lanteau played that small but great role of Charlie the Mailman in On Golden Pond from 1981 -1982. (you broke the screen door, Charlie.) Who can forget that powerful message about life? Bravo to Jane for buying the rights to the play with her Dad in mind. Henry Fonda's last movie and he takes home the Oscar. Nice way to finish. Best to all from Nick in Ontario Canada. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
The 'Stranger in Town' Ten Years Later (William Lanteau)
For a good look at Ed Sawyer (William Lanteau) ten years after he was in Mayberry, look at the 'Sanford and Son' episode 'Crossed Swords.' This is, incidentally, the first episode of 'Sanford and Son.' It was taped in late 1971. William Lanteau plays a clerk in a Beverly Hills antique shop. The clerk offers Lamont some decent money for an antique piece but he declines and decides to put it on auction. Brian Rodahaver One Of Maryland's Biggest TAGS Fans!!!

Re: William Lanteau
***The host of the Turner Classic Movie program (sorry don't know his name) said he worked as a young manat the Desilu Studios commenting this was a hard movie at times for Lucy...storyline.a little close to home apparently. But anywayStranger in Town is one of my favorite episodes of TAGS and I recognized William Lanteau--Ed Sawyer immediately! Does anyone know if he stayed around Mayberry? *** Evidently the movie was filmed about the time Lucy and Desi were getting divorced. As for Ed Sawyer, he apparently lived out his retirement in that town where Bob Newhart ran his inn...oh yeah that's right, that was all a dream. Dixon Check out AOL.com today.
