That was Alice Ghostley. At the time she was known for her roles in Bewitched and Mayberry RFD. She later went on to have a memorable role in Designing Women.

She did both shows back to back during that particular season (1977-1978).

I think she was rehearsing for the school play . That would explain why she was there after school when the vandalism took place! ;)

Well that was a bad edit because I had no idea why she was dressed like that lol


Soon as the ep started you see in a japenese robe:lol:

I wondered the same thing. She was just there in that Japanese costume and I wondered why she was dressed like that walking into the principal's office. Maybe there was another scene before that was edited out. You're right it was a bad edit if that was the case.

She was also in the movie Grease. She taught Auto Shop.
Remember the song "Greased Lightning"?
lol

Her voice sounds like a female version of Paul Lynde lol

Well I will probably never see the uncut version unless someone gives me the series on DVD as a gift lol

Yeah, it does. Good observation!

I heard a comic back in 1992 named Roger Kabler do that impersonation. He said "Why all the looong faces?" I thought he was imitating Alice Ghostley to find out it was really Paul Lynde. LOL. Ironic enough that you post the thing I always thought of. :lol:

Yes definitely, lol; no coincidence either, as Alice and Paul both debuted in New Faces on Broadway together in 1954 (along with Charlotte Rae, and Cloris Leachman). I always thought Alice and Paul should have played a couple since their speech patterns are so similar, and they may very well have appeared together on a '60s sitcom before, I can't recall at the moment.

Alice's most famous role was indeed as Bernice Clifton on Designing Women*. She was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Emmy for that role in 1992.

*(I always found it interesting that the more proper grammar usage is someone is "in" a movie, yet they are "on" a television series)

Anyone know what she is known for?
She was known for being on Bewitched as Ismarelda. This is why they were clapping. She played a major role on Bewitched from 1969-1973

Alice Ghostley was a hoot in most her roles. I enjoyed her as Esmerelda and her Bernice Clifton is a classic.
