Dick Wilson, TV's "Mr. Whipple" of the Charmin commercials, was the father of
Melanie Wilson of PERFECT STRANGERS.

no I did not know that

Oh yes!! I loved Dick Wilson as The Drunk on Bewitched, and I loved his daughter as Jennifer on PS. :cool: :D

I love this clip. I love how Melanie shared the story of what the kids' parents did for a living in school. While other kids said their dads were doctors or dentists, Melanie blurted out her dad was a drunk!! (Of course, at that time he played the drunk on Bewitched.) Out of the mouths of babes, indeed. :lol:

These days if some child blurted that out social services would be at their front door almost immediately!

More interviews with Melanie mentioning her dad:

I love when the interviewer asked Melanie "Does you Dad squeeze Charmin at home?" And she replied "do you really want me to answer that here?" Man, I think if a guy wants to squeeze Charmin in the privacy of his own home that's hos own business!! :lol:
